Clive West's novel The Road, is about greed and corruption in a quiet English town. The main character is Henry, an inept a local government bureaucrat, who is offered the chance to make some real money. Suffering in an unhappy family situation where his wife and kids walk all over him, Henry trades his remaining integrity for the chance to create a new life for himself. But all the characters around him are swept up by their own problems and circumstances, and nothing turns out the way it was supposed to. This is well-crafted book is a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I believe you will too. Recommended.
