Description: "Having made his name with an exhibition of photographs of Michelin roadmaps - Jed Martin is now emerging from a ten-year hiatus. And he's had some good news. It has nothing to do with his broken boiler or the approach of another awkward annual Christmas dinner with his father. It is that, for his new exhibition, he has secured the involvement of none other than the French novelist Michel Houellebecq. The exhibition brings Jed new levels of fame. Yet his boiler is still broken, his ailing father flirts with oblivion and, worse still, he is contacted by Inspector Jasselin, who requests his assistance in solving an unspeakable crime."--Back cover.
