Adam Whistler has it all, so why does he feel so empty? When he breaks his ankle on a Mediterranean holiday he impulsively ends his relationship, toppling himself into emotional free fall.

At a house party he meets—and beds—the lovely Morgan. But when he encounters her a few days later she has no memory of him and introduces herself as Leila. Leila has dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personalities.

People are being murdered and Leila fears that Morgan, the personality Adam first met, is the killer. He doesn’t believe that any part of her is capable of it, so he sets out to unravel the mystery of her past. Tumult is a stylish, contemporary psychological thriller in the vein of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith.

Industry Reviews

"It looks fantastic, its frames drawn in a combination of hallucinatory colour and noirish inkiness. This singular comic [has a] slippery, shivery power" -- Rachel Cooke, The Guardian
"'Tumult' Is a Graphic Fiction Noir Thriller Viewed Through a Surreal Lens" -- PopMatters
"I was so keen to unravel the mystery I didn't get up from the sofa till it was read. Only complaint is that I wanted more by the end of it." -- Frazer Irving
"Utterly compelling to an almost sinister extent" -- Jake Arnott
"An involving story and great graphic impact" -- Dave Gibbons
"When I'd finished reading Tumult, it felt like I'd met an interesting person on a train journey, and when I got off at my stop, I hoped to meet them again. We keep books on the shelf as company - some of them are best friends we visit often. Tumult is a journey I must travel again." -- Simon Bisley
