Description
It's the most romantic night in the year, February 14th, and Andy Crowe has been dumped. He's also driving to Birmingham with his most hated rival, fellow stand-up comic Rob Gillen. And it's raining. Could things get much worse
Oh yes. Because three small-time villains are about to try to pull off a small-time job, and they're heading for the motoroway services where Andy and Rob are going to end up.
All day breakfast, anyone

Reviews / Votes
Blake keeps things ticking over nicely and there s a surreal cameo appearance from God who s hitchiking around Britain s dismal motorway network. It s weird, but it works - MirrorMark Blake ... has used his first-hand experience of the UK comedy circuit as material for a cracking novel ... A frantically funny tale - Daily Telegraph
A funny and fast-moving thriller lovely observation and turns of phrase ... a clever book - Helen Lederer on Open Book, Radio 4
