About this listen
From the author of the international best-seller The Stone Man, shortlisted for Audible UK's Book of the Year Award 2015.
In the late 1990s, a laptop was found in a service station just outside of Manchester. It contained a digital journal entitled 'TO THE FINDER: OPEN NOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE!' Now, for the first time, that infamous diary is being published in its entirety.
It's 1998. The Internet age is still in its infancy. Google has just been founded. Eighteen-year-old supermarket shelf-stacker Nigel Carmelite has decided that he's going to become a vigilante.
There are a few problems: how is he going to even find crime to fight on the streets of Derbyshire? How will he create a superhero costume - and an arsenal of crime-fighting weaponry - on a shoestring budget? And will his history of blackouts and crippling social inadequacy affect his chances? This is Nigel's account of his journey; part diary, part deluded self-help manual, tragically comic and slowly descending into what is arguably Luke Smitherd's darkest and most violent novel.
What do you believe in? And more importantly, should you?

Loved it!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It started off quite light and funny, but later parts of the book are deeper and darker and sadder...really quite an emotional book for me.
I was surprised to learn in the authors afterword that this was one of his first books written many years ago and then 'lost'. I am so glad it was found and published!
Just a word about the narration...I do have to say I really love when authors have the talent to narrate their own books. You know you are hearing exactly what they meant when they wrote it, with all the inflections in the right spots. And Luke does such a brilliant job of narrating his books!
Highly recommended.
