Four middle-aged losers. Five ridiculous dares. £10 million.
Eric Gideon has always found it impossible to say ‘no’ to a challenge. Traverse the alps on a pogo stick? Absolutely. Blag your way into a Royal wedding? No problem. Swim the English Channel wearing handcuffs? Hold my beer. No matter how difficult the dare, Eric’s idiotic and brilliant track record was the stuff of legend. But when Sean Heschmeyer provokes him to attempt five improbable dares in seven days, even Eric might be out of his depth.
Sean isn’t just any old challenger. He’s a multi-millionaire with a grudge, the victim of a dare Eric set him twenty years ago. An event that dramatically changed his life. Now it’s time for Eric and the other members of the ‘Idiots’ Club’ to experience some payback in the only way they understand; a game. But not like the juvenile dares of old. These dares have been designed to ruin their lives and destroy their friendships. Unfortunately for Eric, the old members of the club aren't that close anymore and, under Sean's rules, unless they all participate none of them can win the £10 million on offer should they succeed.
Eric must convince Callum, the world’s worst entrepreneur, Josh, a serial divorcee, and Micky, a moderately successful Pharmacist, that taking on a set of challenges involving a narcoleptic ex-girlfriend, five disgruntled black ops mercenaries, a World War Two bomb and a family of hat-loving night monkeys is worth risking their livelihoods, reputations, and relationships. Not that they have much of those left to lose. But even worse, the reunion will force them to face up to what they did to Sean twenty years ago. Which, as it turns out, will be a lot harder than stealing a lion.
The Idiots’ Club is the heart warming, ridiculous and laugh-out-loud novel from Tony Moyle. If you love anarchic, dark contemporary comedy with plenty of twists and turns then I dare you to start reading this today.
