'Meet Ed Kennedy - underage cabdriver, pathetic cardplayer, and useless at romance. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence, until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. That's when the first Ace arrives. That's when Ed becomes the messenger...
'The Messenger is a darkly humorous, thought provoking and moving story that reminds us how difficult it is to find our place in the world.'
