Summary
A terrific, warm, and funny novel about fathers and sons, relationships, and living in a modern metropolisJulius Miles is a mathematical genius, but he is hefty of frame, awkward with the opposite sex, and struggling to bring his existence into balance. When he stumbles across the girl next door naked and dead on her Victorian tiles, he starts to unravel the one equation that's eluded him: that of his own life. And so it is that with the most unlikely of assistantsa transsexual Cupid with a penchant for drugshe embarks on a quest to find the truth about love, death, family, and how, ultimately, you make your numbers happy. Witty, poignant, and darkly comic, this timely tale of personal relationships in the city is a triumph of linguistic inventiveness
