Suave… worldly… cool under pressure… a ladies' man; Aaron Turbot is none of these things. What he is, however, is a creature of benign mediocrity and moderate neuroses. But paramount, Aaron Turbot is utterly ill-prepared for anything that life is about to throw his way.

After a string of questionable luck and poor decisions, Aaron is finding life a more anxious condition than usual, and that may be gently understated. He discovers himself in unfamiliar territory when Thomas Hill, the ageing neighbour and solitary soul from down the hall, requests what on the surface appears an understandable, albeit inconvenient errand of goodwill. After completing this small “ish” favour Aaron, along with long-time childhood friend and reluctant assistant Chris, quickly find themselves embroiled in a situation that is markedly out of their collective skillsets. Sliding ever further down the rabbit hole into madness, their afternoon’s undertaking warps into an adventure that neither could have scarcely imagined. “Aaron Turbot and the Perilous Sofa” is a study in lies, lunacy, laundry and larceny… and very possibly, even murder.

Just when you thought it was safe to curl up on the sofa and read a good book... maybe just read this one instead.
