Ever have a moment you wish you could undo? A wickedly brilliant tale of revenge, mystery, and fate, Antony Mooreβs The Swap is at once a gripping thriller and a hilarious black comedyβa book for anyone whoβs ever wondered what could have been. . . . Harvey Briscowβsmoker, drinker, comic-shop ownerβis facing another school reunion back in Cornwall. Having spent the last two decades second-guessing himself, Harvey isnβt thrilled at the prospect of showing his classmates the mess heβs made of his life. But this is Harveyβs twentieth reunion, a milestone that all but guarantees that Charles βBleederβ Oddβthe freakish reject who made off with Harveyβs now-priceless Superman One comic in a school-yard swapβwill be in attendance. But when Harvey returns to Cornwall, hoping to retrieve his comic, heβs met with more than a few surprises. . . . Bleeder is now dazzlingly successfulβand quite content to watch Harvey squirm, refusing to acknowledge their long-ago trade. And Harveyβfueled by drink and the promise of a beautiful womanβsoon makes a fateful choice, one he instantly wishes he could undo. A dead body and an enraged husband further complicate matters . . . but thereβs a silver lining in this strange chain of events: suddenly one bad swap is the least of Harveyβs regrets. . . .
