'Richly inventive. Intelligent wit... elegiac charm... wonderfully funny' - Sunday Times

Heads You Win is a tragicomedy of second chances. After taking early retirement, Gus Cotton is surprised to find himself persuaded by two old friends - a disgraced wheeler-dealer and a convicted drug smuggler - into taking on the City by launching the greatest headhunting company of all time. Added to this mix, the fourth partner in their venture is a beautiful young woman with an alcoholic past.

In this, the final volume of his Chronicle of Modern Twilight series, Ferdinand Mount has created a poignant and hilariously funny exploration of the concept that none of us is beyond redemption.

Industry Reviews

Sophisticated comedy-what gives it its distinction is the quality of observation and the unusual marriage of high spirits with melancholy awareness of the passing of time * Scotsman *
Irresistible * Literary Review *
An acute observer of manners and styles * Independent *
Here is an imagination that effortlessly brings character after character to valiant, preposterous, malevolent or desperate life. Here is a writer who deserves to be far more widely read * Spectator *
It has a lightness, a breadth... an impressive energy and a humane comedy... Entertaining and affecting * Times Literary Supplement *
