Danny Hook is a directionless twenty-something year old fresh out of therapy. Dealing with his disappointed family and dead-end career, he's sure things couldn't get much worse, until a drink-driving accident leaves his best friend Nudge dead.
Danny also discovers he can see ghosts - but only when he's drunk. Saddled with a best friend who can't leave his side, they must figure out what's going on and why Nudge can't cross over. Can Danny negotiate family life, therapy and a ghost that refuses to fade into the background before time runs out?
'Spirit Level is a charming, zippy and hilarious read. Richy Craven is one of the best new writers going. Pick up this book or I'll haunt ya!' - Alison Spittle
"'Richy Craven has crafted an engaging story about the horrible, painful, wonderful business of living - and how refreshing to find a book that's so funny and utterly relatable while navigating some very serious topics. The writing sparkles with wit from line to line, with every page hiding either a belly laugh or a sudden sharp observation of human nature - and often both. A stylish debut - can't wait for more'" - author of Grave Expectations
"'An excellent black comedy about male friendship. If you want to laugh in the face of death - and do so regularly - this is the book for you'" - author of Duffy and Son
"'A brilliant depiction of modern male friendship'" - author of Queen of Coins and Whispers
"'A brilliant debut you'll absolutely inhale!'" - author of The Undetectables
