And to cap it all, he lives in Margate.Just when Josh thinks things can't get any worse his sociopathic boss - Hershey Valentine - winds up dead and he finds himself the number one suspect. As the net closes in Josh discovers that no one is quite what they seem, including him, and that sometimes help comes from the most unlikely sources...Part fiction, part lies (well, it is about banking) and excruciatingly funny, The Fix pulls no punches when revealing the naked truth of a man living a life he loathes.What Others Say...'Moves faster than a speeding bullet.
