On the morning of his fortieth birthday, Mike Hannah wakes from a dream about the girl he loved twenty years earlier. Once an aspiring writer, he is now a private detective whose work and marriage have become routine, and he begins to wonder what might have been. Which leads him to wondering where his ex-girlfriend is now, and whether other people's lives are more exciting than his. Which leads him to spying on his own family, friends and neighbours. Which leads to some very unwelcome surprises!

PRAISE FOR PIG:
I defy anyone not to look at their own life as a result of reading this book. This is not always comfortable reading but it is astute and very good. (Nottingham Evening Post)
A coming-of-age story as strange and surprising, in its way, as THE CATCHER IN THE RYE (New York Times)
A first novel of extraordinary poise and accomplishment ... gripping and moving (Michael Dibdin)
A wholly satisfying book, quietly beautiful and inescapably ominous (David Buckley, Observer)
PRAISE FOR CRUSTACEANS:
Haunting and heartbreaking (The Sunday Times)
Subtly written and superbly crafted ... Cowan has excelled himself with this brilliant and poignant book (Sunday Express)
Told with a tenderness and detail that shine through all [Paul's] dark domestic secrets. CRUSTACEANS is a bleakly beautiful novel ... riveting (Literary Review)
