Arthur Du Fuss, bitter, alone, and ignored by his neighbours, has two secrets: one dies with him when he commits suicide; the other is the vast wealth he amassed through the creation of a cult board game. Now his erstwhile neighbours receive a post-mortem invitation to the offices of a charismatic City lawyer to play a final version of the game; the prize - Arthur's fortune. As they dice with the devil, the game first exposes the fragility of their relationships, and then tears them apart, with tragic and horrifying consequences. But Arthur, too, must pay for his revenge. The old man learns that outstanding debts can still be called in, even when you are dead.

The Spark
When I heard that a neighbour who lived on his own in our street had died – a man whom some other residents had described as weird – I felt guilty that I had not made the effort to get to know him, and also curious about why others had judged him. This combined with a love of Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, and off I went!
“One of the most unusual but compelling and intriguing books I have ever read."
"This intriguing tension filled dark tale by Palin had me gripped from the first page."
“Palin uses eloquent prose to portray a disparate set of characters and weave them into an intricate plot.”
