Toffee haunts a ghost

Marc Pillsworth isn’t the type to scream when calamity strikes. He wakes to a cascade of absurd mishaps—a runaway safe that lands inches from his feet, a taxi that flats mid‑route, and a sudden collision with a market‑laden woman—all while trying to keep his composure. As the day unravels, Marc’s dry humor is tested by a ghost named George who seems intent on making his life even stranger.

Adding to the chaos is Toffee, the enigmatic “dream‑girl” who haunts Marc’s thoughts and appears to be more trouble than a comforting muse. The novel blends slapstick danger with a touch of the supernatural, following Marc as he navigates a city that feels bent by impossible physics. With each narrow escape, his cynical outlook is both challenged and oddly reinforced, promising a quirky, fast‑paced adventure that keeps listeners guessing what will tumble next.
