The number one bestseller and Sunday Times Humour Book of the Year by national treasure Bob Mortimer.‘The most life-affirming, joyful read of the year’ - Sunday Times‘Winningly heartfelt’ – The Guardian‘A triumph’ – Daily MailBob Mortimer’s life was trundling along happily until suddenly in 2015 he was diagnosed with a heart condition that required immediate surgery and forced him to cancel an upcoming tour. The episode unnerved him, but forced him to reflect on his life so far. This is the framework for his hilarious and moving memoir, And Away…Although his childhood in Middlesbrough was normal on the surface, it was tinged by the loss of his dad, and his own various misadventures (now infamous from his appearances on Would I Lie to You?), from burning down the family home to starting a short-lived punk band called Dog Dirt. As an adult, he trained as a solicitor and moved to London. Though he was doing pretty well (the South London Press once crowned him ‘The Cockroach King’ after a successful verdict), a chance encounter in a pub in the 1980s with a young comedian going by the name Vic Reeves set his life on a different track. And now, six years on, the heart condition that once threatened his career has instead led to new success on BBC2’s Gone Fishing.Warm, profound, and irrepressibly funny, And Away… is Bob’s full life story (with a few lies thrown in for good measure.)PLEASE NOTE: This book has been printed with three different colour designs, green, blue, and orange. We are unable to accept requests for a specific cover. The different covers will be assigned to orders at random.

Paul Whitehouse and fishing expert John Bailey celebrate the timeless joy of fishing.Paul Whitehouse and John Bailey have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, past time or sport – call it what you want – they have felt the pull of the water ever since they were kids and have never missed the chance to set up on the bank and try their luck.In this wonderful book, the two fishermen collaborate to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing – from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled ‘Fishing Detectives’. Punctuated by brilliant stories, beautiful illustrations by Carys Reilly-Whitehouse, and recollections from fishing day trips past, How We Fish is the perfect tome for the veteran fisherman or the budding angler – warm, funny and rich in the wonders of the riverbank.

THE NEW PAPERBACK EDITION OF THE BESTSELLING COMEDY CLASSICTHE MUST-HAVE BOOK FOR FANS OF MORTIMER AND WHITEHOUSE: GONE FISHINGThe Sunday Times bestsellerComedy greats Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have been friends for 30 years, but when life intervened, what was once a joyous and spontaneous friendship dwindled to the odd phone call or occasional catch up. Then, Glory Be! They were both diagnosed with heart disease and realised that time is short. They'd better spend it fishing...So they dusted off their kits, chucked on their waders and ventured into the achingly beautiful British countryside to fish, rediscover the joys of their friendship and ruminate on some of life's most profound questions, such as: How did we get so old? Where are all the fish? What are your favourite pocket meats? What should we do if we find a corpse? With a stunning new paperback cover to celebrate one of the nation's most beloved TV shows, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, this wonderful book by two lifelong friends is an extension of the show: a love letter to the joys of angling, the thrill of the catch and the virtue of having a right daft laugh with your mates. From the fish to look out for, the equipment, the food, and the locations, Gone Fishing is the perfect book for fans of Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and for anyone who wants to read a brilliantly written and endlessly funny joint memoir on life, friendship and joys of fishing.

Herrlich britischer Humor und ein liebenswürdig verpeilter Held. Der Super-Bestseller aus UK.»Mein Name ist Gary. Ich bin dreißig Jahre alt und arbeite in einer Kanzlei in London. Wenn Sie mich träfen, würden Sie mich wahrscheinlich als unscheinbar bezeichnen. Ich hatte einen tollen Draht zu einer Frau entwickelt, doch das flog mir voll um die Ohren und verpasste mir einen Tritt in den Hintern.«Gary Thorn lernt im Pub eine Frau kennen. Er ist schockverliebt, nur ihren Namen bekommt er nicht mit. Als sie geht, weiß Gary nichts von ihr außer dem Titel des Buches, das sie las: »Der Satsuma-Komplex«. Jetzt muss Gary die Frau, die er nun Satsuma nennt, unbedingt aufstöbern.So beginnt Garys große Suche. Nie hätte er sich träumen lassen, dass es in seinem Leben so viel Chaos, Liebe und Eichhörnchen geben würde. Und dass ausgerechnet er das Zeug zum Helden hat.»Witzig, überraschend und sympathisch.« Sunday Times

Hihityttävä dekkari koomikko Bob Mortimerilta.
Kaikki alkaa siitä, kun Gary Thorn piipahtaa tuopillisella tuttavansa Brendanin kanssa ja tapaa kuppilassa ihastuttavan tytön, joka lukee kirjaa nimeltä Satsumakompleksi.
Brendanin kotiinlähtö ei Garya haittaa, sillä hän jää juttelemaan tuntikausiksi Satsumaksi nimeämänsä naisen kanssa. Mutta sillä aikaa kun Gary on hakemassa baaritiskiltä uutta kierrosta, tyttö katoaakin jäljettömiin. Pöydästä löytyy vain tytön lukema kirja.
Seuraavana aamuna Garyn ovella kolkuttaa poliisi, jonka mukaan Brendan on löydetty kuolleena. Koska Gary on viimeinen tämän elossa nähnyt henkilö, häntä pidetään epäiltynä. Alibinsa vahvistaakseen Garyn täytyy löytää kapakan tyttö – josta hän ei tiedä nimeä eikä mitään muutakaan. Ainoa johtolanka on Satsumakompleksi-kirja. Gary ajautuu uskomattomaan ja hänen elämänsä muuttavaan seikkailuun läpi Lontoon pubien ja nuhjuisten nurkkien.
Satsumakompleksi on monikerroksinen ja sopivan tummasävyinen cozy crime -dekkari, jonka hupsut yksityiskohdat ja nokkela sanailu saavat hihittämään ääneen läpi yllätyksellisen ja mukaansatempaavan rikostarinan.
Bob Mortimer on suosittu englantilainen koomikko, televisiojuontaja ja näyttelijä. Satsumakompleksi on hänen esikoisromaaninsa, joka on käännetty jo 14 kielelle ja myynyt Englannissa yli puoli miljonaa kappaletta. Samaa sarjaa jatkava Avokadohotelli nousi heti ilmestyttään elokuussa 2024 Englannin myyntilistojen kärkeen.

Naseva cosy crime -dekkari yllättää lukijansa kuin pesuaineen tuoksuinen vape-höyrypilvi konsanaan.
Gary Thornilla on suuri päätös tehtävänään: jäädäkö Lontooseen, tylsänturvalliseen työhönsä lakifirmaan ja syömään piiraita naapurinsa kanssa, vai lähteäkö Brightoniin, jonne tyttöystävä Emily on avaamassa Avokado-hotellin? Niin tai näin, joku pettyy.
Kohtalolla on tapansa puuttua peliin, ja pian viheliäiset voimat alkavat varjostaa Garyn arkea. Näyttämölle saapuu muuan salaperäinen herra Sequence, joka asettaa Garyn todellisuuden aivan uuteen asentoon – Gary saattaa hyvinkin olla pian vainaa. Ja hän kun haluaisi vain nauttia elämästään.
Satsumakompleksin tarinaa jatkava Avokadohotelli tihkuu Bob Mortimerin omintakeista, nasevaa huumoria ja punoo otteessaan pitävän dekkarijuonen Garyn seikkailujen ympärille. Sympaattinen Gary on antisankari, jolle todella toivoo onnellista loppua.
