''A twisted masterpiece'' Guardian
1939. In a grotty corner of London, in a flat above a shop, a private eye known as Wolf keeps his office.

Business hasn''t been good, so when a glamorous Jewish heiress comes through his door, he has no choice but to take on her case.
It''s a decision Wolf will soon regret.
For in another time and place, a man lies dreaming. Once a Yiddish pulp writer, but now imprisoned in a hell of humanity''s making, Shomer creates lurid tales of revenge in his sleep...
Prescient, darkly funny and wholly original, the award-winning A Man Lies Dreaming is a modern fable for our time.
