Ten Pound Note

Fresh from the mint, a ten-pound note enters circulation with one small imperfection: the Queen appears to be winking, as if she knows something the rest of us do not.

Over the course of its journey, the tenner passes through twelve lives: the lost, the lonely, the violent, the damaged and the desperate. A child. A gangster with a secret. A drug dealer, a stripper, a crooked policeman and a man with nothing left to lose.

None of them keep the note for long. But each leaves a mark.

What begins as a chain of chance encounters slowly reveals something darker, stranger and more human: a hidden connection between lives that should never have touched, and a path that may yet lead back to redemption.

Ten Pound Note is a gritty, darkly comic and compassionate novel about life, fate, survival and the stories we leave behind.
