I didn't kill anyone until I was forty-two. That's actually a little on the late side for my current professional environment. Admittedly, I did kill almost half a dozen in the week that followed.
Bjrn has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife Katharina will leave him - and take their daughter.
He reluctantly starts a mindfulness class and to his surprise, it's a revelation. He becomes calmer, more focused, and he's starting to understand what's really important in life. So when his client and brutal crime boss Dragan Sergowicz tries to interfere with his precious family time, Bjrn remembers his new-found goal to find serenity - and kills him.
Now Bjrn can deepen his practice and seek inner peace - violently.
'A razor-sharp satire on stressed-out modern society, a darkly comic and hugely entertaining crime thriller and - believe it or not - also a handy guide to improving your life through mindfulness.' ROBBIE MORRISON, author of EDGE OF THE GRAVE
'A violent, feel-good rampage of a book where the pace and positivity never let up. Twisted and hilarious!' CALLUM MCSORLEY, author of SQUEAKY CLEAN
