Shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction
From the Costa-shortlisted author of CHOP CHOP, HERE COMES TROUBLE is a comic novel with bite. Set in a collapsing country - where larger-than-life characters make promises they can't keep - it's the perfect read for our strange, tumultuous times.

Welcome to Kyrzbekistan, winner of Most Corrupt Country 2011 and 2012. A place where anyone can be happy - as long they aren't poor, ill, foreign, a pedestrian, or in any way interested in the truth. A country that takes fake news and false promises to new levels. Expelled from school, Ellis Dau has been forced to help his father out at the Chronicle, the last bastion of free speech in this strange world. But when the country's power supply fails and dark voices threaten the Chronicle's future, Ellis finds himself in an unlikely fight for freedom.'I loved this rollercoaster of a ride into a corrupt, fictitious country that feels only too hideously real' Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
