<p><b>South London, May 2010: foxes are behaving strangely, Burmese immigrants are going missing, and everyone is trying to get hold of a new party drug called Glow. A young man suffering from a rare sleep disorder will uncover the connections between all these anomalies in this taut, riveting new novel by a young writer hailed by <i>The Guardian </i>as &ldquo;playful, arresting, unnerving, opulent, rude and&mdash;above all&mdash;deliciously, startlingly, exuberantly fresh.&rdquo; <br></b><br>Twenty-two-year-old Raf spends his days walking Rose, a bull terrier who guards the transmitters for a pirate radio station, and his nights at raves in warehouses and launderettes. When his friend Theo vanishes without a trace, Raf's efforts to find him will lead straight into the heart of a global corporate conspiracy. Meanwhile, he's falling in love with a beautiful young woman he met at one of those raves, but he'll soon discover that there is far more to Cherish than meets the eye. <br><br>Combining the pace, drama, and explosive plot twists of a thriller with his trademark intellectual, linguistic, and comedic pyrotechnics, <i>Glow</i> is Ned Beauman's most compelling, virtuosic, and compulsively readable novel yet.</p>
