Driven by money, power and success, Gabriel has worked ruthlessly to get to the very top of the banking game. He´s not going to let the inconvenience of a terminal brain tumour get in his way. Bestselling author Gavin Extence pushes the envelope again with another thought-provoking and funny novel about the surprises, good and bad, that life can throw at us.

´It´s so good it´ll leave you wanting to change your own life´ Independent

So far in his life, Gabriel - selfish, arrogant and happy to be so - has only ever thought about two things: money and himself. When he´s diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, he doesn´t see why anything should change.

But as the tumour grows, something strange starts happening. Whether Gabriel likes it or not, he´s becoming . . . nicer. Kinder. A better person.

And then he meets Caitlin. Before, he wouldn´t even have glanced at her; now he´s entranced. But real change takes time - and time is something Gabriel just doesn´t have.

As each day brings him closer to his last, has the one opportunity for a second chance passed him by?
