Enthralling and hilarious high-concept debut novel from Channel 4 F1 presenter Steve Jones.

Bob Bloomfield's whole life changed when his little brother Tom was tragically killed in childhood.
Now a ruthless corporate partner, with a \"materially rich, spiritually empty\" existence, Bob has done enough living for two.
But then the impossible happens.
A seemingly ordinary phone allows Bob to connect to the past ... and speak with his twelve-year-old self. And his calls back through time are creating real changes in the present.
Which leaves Bob with two questions:
Is this a chance to prevent his brother's death?
And will he like the world he's created if he succeeds?
