At a grand Reykjavik hotel the doorman has been stabbed in the dingy basement room. As the manager tries to keep the murder under wraps, a glum detective takes up residence in his hotel.

On New Year's morning, 1975, Archie Jones sits in his car on a London road and waits for the exhaust fumes to fill his vehicle. Archie - working-class, ordinary, a failed marriage under his belt - is calling it quits, the deciding factor being the flip of a coin. When the owner of a nearby halal butcher shop (annoyed that Archie's car is blocking his delivery area) comes out and bangs on the window, he gives Archie another chance at life and sets in motion the events of the story. Set in post-war London, this novel of the racial, political, and social upheaval of the last half of the twentieth century follows two families - the Joneses and the Iqbals, both outsiders from within the former British empire - as they make their way in modern England
