South London: foxes are behaving strangely, Burmese immigrants are going missing, and everyone is trying to get hold of a new party drug called Glow. Raf, a young man who suffers from a rare sleep disorder, spends his days walking Rose, a bull terrier who guards a pirate radio station, and his nights at raves in warehouses and launderettes. When his friend Theo vanishes without a trace, Raf’s efforts to find him lead straight into the heart of a global corporate conspiracy. Meanwhile, he's falling in love with Cherish, a beautiful young woman he met at one of those raves, but he’ll soon discover that there is far more to her than meets the eye.

  " Virtuosic. . . . Reads at a breakneck pace of a who-done-it potboiler." –The Los Angeles Times
 
  "A pulpy whodunit, but it develops into something much weirder [that] by the end you might feel as if your brain had been CrossFit training." --Entertainment Weekly
 
"Antic [and] madly engaging. . . . [Beauman] has a boundless ability to entertain." --The Wall Street Journal

“A novel that wakes us up . . . enchants readers with an intricate plot, dazzles with distinct characters [and] simply thrills with a unique, distinctive writing style.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazett

"Beauman's zest for everyday comedy and a well-turned sentence is as evident as ever from the first scene." --The Washington Post

 “Glow does not glow—it dazzles.” —The Independent, UK

 “We are in the presence of a genuine talent here. . . . Beauman's great originality and skill [and] intelligent aesthetic often provide pure revitalizing reading pleasure; he is playful, arresting, unnerving, opulent, rude and—above all, deliciously, startlingly, exuberantly fresh.” —The Guardian, UK
