The House of the Rising Son

Alex Feinsteins life is in free-fall. His career has tanked. His wife has left him. And hes at war with his 15-year-old son. To cap it all, hes just had a frightening diagnosis. At the end of his tether - literally - he's about to hang himself from the living-room ceiling when his distraught ex calls to say their sons been kidnapped at Glasto. The gang is demanding a hefty ransom, and if the cops get involved, Freds toast. But who are these people - and why have they targeted Fred? With renewed sense of purpose and nothing to lose, Alex wriggles out of his makeshift noose and embarks on a frantic mission to rescue the boy - and who knows? - perhaps even himself. The House of the Rising Son is a dark comic odyssey through the converging traumas of mid-life and adolescence, with a fresh look at family dynamics through the post#MeToo male prism.
