Martin Reed, a crime fiction fanatic, is the office joke at Southern Toilet Supply. Stuck in a dead-end job and living with his cranky mother, he's bullied by colleagues, shunned by women, and tormented by his arch enemy who is now his supervisor.

Until one morning, Martin arrives at work to find ... Read morethe police investigating a brutal murder. A co-worker's body has been found in a ditch, and all evidence points to Martin—especially since he can't, or won't, provide an alibi.

When a second victim is found in the company bathroom, things really conspire against Martin. His only hope is the beautiful and sympathetic Detective Anther Albada, but even she's beginning to doubt his innocence. Could Martin be guilty? Or is he just misunderstood?
