Binge Trading The real inside story of cash, cocaine and corruption in the city

Magnus Mills’ brilliant short novel transports us into the bizarre world of the bus drivers who take us to work, to the supermarket, to the match and home again. It is a strange but all too real universe in which the timetable and ‘maintenance of headway’ are sacred, but where the routes can change with the click of an inspector’s fingers and the helpless passengers are secondary. The journey will seem as familiar as our regular route, but Magnus Mills shows the almost religious fervour which lies behind it, and how it is fine to be a little bit late but unforgivable to be a moment early.

`Deeply bizarre, occasionally menacing and often funny . . . it’s real life, but not quite realism, and strangely brilliant’ – The Times
