A bargain of a lifetime - seven years off the end of his life in exchange for a fortune now!By day, Mr Fast was a solicitors clerk, drawing up strangle-tight agreements and contracts.

But when old Mr FIshbane offers him what he most desires in return for seven years off the end of his life, he could never imagine the little lost spectre that will come to haunt him . . .Another remarkable novel from Leon Garfield.
