Steve Jones, the beloved TV presenter and author, has written a brilliantly funny and one-of-a-kind page-turner titled "Terminally Kill." This captivating tale explores the themes of morality, mortality, and the consequences of pushing oneself beyond breaking point. The story follows former policeman Ray "Sugar" Leonard, who has faced numerous bad breaks in his life. However, when his would-be attacker winds up dead after Ray's training kicks in, he begins to question who else might be deserving of such summary justice. Ray's new philosophy soon becomes clear, and it's not long before the group realizes that they all share a common goal: murder. --- "Spectacular. Terminally Kill reads like Richard Osman with more blood. A tale of morality, mortality and what happens when a life takes you beyond breaking point." - Tony Parsons --- Ray might be about to die, but he's not going quietly. Former policeman Ray "Sugar" Leonard is no stranger to bad breaks. But even Walter White never had to open up and share his feelings with a bunch of misfits like Ray's chemotherapy group: a giant God-bothering Welsh bouncer, a sharp-suited wannabe Wolf of Wall Street, and a misanthropic, potty-mouthed little old lady. Compared to that lot, getting mugged on his way home from the clinic was almost a relief. But Ray is not your average victim. And when his training kicks in and his would-be attacker winds up dead, he wonders, who else might be equally deserving of such summary justice? After all, he's got cancer, what does he have to lose? --- Then Ray lets slip his new philosophy to the group, and it soon becomes clear that he's not the only one with murder in mind. --- "Praise for Steve Jones: Joyously unpredictable, clever and witty. RUTH JONES Funny, fast-paced and moving. SATURDAY LIVE 'Very funny ... echoes of Nick Hornby. YOU'RE BOOKED." --- Steve Jones's "Terminally Kill" is a must-read for anyone who loves a good story with a twist. With its unpredictable plot, witty dialogue, and relatable characters, this book is sure to keep you entertained from start to finish. So why not pre-order your copy today and join Ray on his journey to find justice in the most unexpected of ways?
