A highly collectible, very well-preserved copy of the author's acclaimed fourth satirical comedy-thriller. Summary One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night follows Gavin Hutchinson's disastrous attempt to launch a floating holiday resort on a converted North Sea oil rig. To test his venture, he hosts a fifteen-year high school reunion for his former classmates. The social gathering quickly turns chaotic because no one remembers Gavin, his wife plans a public divorce announcement, and a heavily armed band of mercenary terrorists crashes the party. Trapped in the middle of the sea, the petty rivalries of old school acquaintances are cut short by sudden violence. The schoolmates must band together with a soon-to-retire police inspector to survive. The situation descends into a fast-paced, high-octane, and hilariously bloody battle for survival
