When a travelling salesman finds a town that’s not on the map, he must choose between love and a long-held promise of untold riches.
Beckman Spiers is a grey man in a grey world — and he’s happy with that.
After twelve years of routine and grind, he’s again fighting to become The Pegasus Corporation’s lauded Number One Salesman of the Year. Legend has it, Number Ones get so rich, they never work again. With a week to go, Beckman is gaining on his nemesis, smooth-talking Tyler Quittle.
When a chance blowout on a deserted Arizona road leaves Beckman stranded, the enigmatic Saul arrives, and tows him to the curious neon-lit town of Sunrise. Here, he meets the glamorous Lolita Milan, sparks fly, and his fortunes change.
Yet, Sunrise’s small-town charms conceal secrets, and his world becomes one of fraught friendships, private investigators, and backstabbing business deals.
What will he have to do to reach Number One?
And what will he do if he wins the race?
In this stylistic and mysterious romantic comedy, meet the most unique characters and get pulled into the colourful world of Sunrise.
“A gripping yarn – quirky characters, a pacy plot and a setting like you’ve never read before. A fun ol’ read.”
Paul Kerensa, Comedian & British Comedy Award-winning TV writer
“I struggle to compare this book with others. The words ‘unique’ and ‘inventive’ come to mind. The dialogue is well-crafted and funny, the characters are wonderfully individual, and the narrative is a kaleidoscope of colourful drama. This book will stick with you.”
“First of all, Towndrow has an amazing grasp of his prose. It’s funny, it’s witty, it’s hilarious in places and it’s also quite serious if need be. I have to say I’m blown away by it.”
“The narrative of the story keeps you gripped and there is drama and comedic moments a-plenty!”
“I thought this was a fun read with quirky, likeable characters that kept me interested. I chuckled along with the what on earth is going to happen next-ness of the book, appreciated how things wrapped back around on themselves, and I’d happily read another.”
