Oxford University fellowship recipient Bateman's work has been critically acclaimed, and his debut novel Divorcing Jack earned him the Betty Trask Prize. In the hilarious Dr. Yes, crime writer Augustine Wogan's wife visits a plastic surgeon's clinic-and vanishes. Drawn into the mystery, the Small Bookseller begins to investigate-only to find himself face-to-face with a serial killer. "Sometimes brutal, often blackly humorous and always terrific."-Observer
