Original Title: Show of Hands
He who wants to win must be able to let go: The great new novel by Anthony McCarten. Welcome to the hardest contest of all time : five days and five nights without sleep, and all for a car. Fifty desperate people from all over London make their way to a run-down car dealership. For most of them it is their last chance in a life that so far has not treated them kindly. The rules of the game: The person who keeps their hand on the body of a Land Rover the longest will drive away as owner of the car. Who will be the last one standing? The longer the days and nights drag on the more the contestants reveal who they really are . . .
