"Knife-sharp humour" L.A.Times Weekly.

Until she's abducted at gunpoint, Miranda Green's life is an excitement-free zone. Her career has never taken off, her four children are petulant monsters, and her husband Jack, a would-be psychoanalyst who constantly picks her to pieces, has been impotent for two years.

Locked in her North London home, protected from urban crime by a barrage of security devices, Miranda's only thrill is fantasising about sex with her son's best friend.

All this changes when she's abducted by an armed robber in a bungled raid on her local supermarket. While she's tied up in the larder of her captor's dilapidated house, her old life seems like paradise. But when she gets home, Miranda is shocked to find that her children are flourishing without her, and her husband is having a rip-roaring affair.

Miranda flees back to the gunman's house. Offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to reinvent herself, she throws herself into a passionate liaison with her captor, and a dangerous new career as his partner in crime...
