With the world on his trail, Kotler would like nothing better than to hide. However, the consequences of decisions old and new return to haunt him..."Gripping from the outset. Brilliant." (Tom Rob Smith). "Compelling, rich, comic, profound." (Financial Times). "Brave and ambitious." (Independent). "Very impressive.
