Dominic ‘Biscuit’ McLeod is an expert in making the best of a bad situation. As a visa fraud officer at the Australian High Commission, New Delhi, Biscuit is legendary for his prowess in drinking beer, playing cricket and swearing like a Dilliwallah until the tragic death of a junior colleague forces him to become a conspiracy theorist who can’t let go. This comic debut is a novel about the things people will do to leave the places they don’t want to be in and the lengths others will go to try and stop them.
