“Resonant and haunting enough to leave us with a profound sense of sadness.” - The Scotsman
A darkly comedic spy thriller inspired by the real-life unresolved murder of the ‘Somerton Man’.
Keene is seemingly an unremarkable man who worries about buying good slippers, but is actually a British spy willing to kill to protect the interests of the British Government.
When Keene is pestered by a fellow spy about whether the Persian phrase ‘Tamám Shud’ means anything to him, he takes a trip down memory lane to answer the questions…
“Did I know about it? Did I know who the Somerton Man was?”
