One winter's morning, Lorimer Black - young, good-looking but with a somewhat troubled expression - goes to keep a perfectly routine business appointment and finds a hanged man. A bad start to the day, by any standards, and an ominous portent. Sure enough, Lorimer's life is duly turned upside down and inside out in ways he could never have foreseen. Set in London, Armadillo is a darkly comic, fiercely acute and rambunctious exploration of the bizarre and baffling nature of contemporary life, from the author of A Good Man In Africa, An Ice-cream War and The Blue Afternoon.
