on BBC Radio 3

A fast-paced comedy-thiller by Christopher Brookmyre.

August is Jack Parlabane 's least favourite time of year in Edinburgh, what with the festival going on, and to make matters worse he has just walked into one of the worst-conceived armed robberies he's ever heard of - but then, post offices always attract nutters.
With Douglas Henshall as Parlabane, and BBC Radio Scotland sports commentators David Begg, Richard Gordon and Murdo Macleod as themselves. Contains strong language.
Director Lu Kemp
