Story
Once a famous artist’s model, Valérie’s allure hasn’t diminished–unlike her bank balance. Swapping her chic Paris apartment for a country chateau causes consternation among her coterie of admirers: a diffident philosopher who thinks smoking in cafés will lend him an air of sophistication, a philandering fraudster who doesn’t care who he pursues as long as they have a healthy bank balance, and a retired soldier whose bony backside is his only character flaw.

Story
Travis's life is perfection. He has the looks, the car, the apartment and the women. Lots of women. Debbie says the sex is revelatory, which doesn't help Sheryl. And then there's Colin. Colin's life is bleak and without hope, and his sex life is so inconsequential that it is hard to assign it a proclivity in any direction. All Colin's dreams come true when, thinking he's working for MI6, he shadows Travis's life and goes on a journey of orgiastic debauchery. But things aren't quite as they seem as the noose tightens on Travis's perfect world.

Publisher's Summary
When Martha’s heart suddenly stops, it gives her the chance to reflect on her life. Something is missing, and it’s more than just adrenaline. She hasn’t seen her son, Matt, in 20 years, and has no idea that his wife Emma has started talking about babies. Matt, though, is worried about his genetic inheritance: Can a penchant for bank robbery be passed through the generations? And can he seek advice from his work colleague Rip, whose entire life experience is based on video games?
When Martha’s psychotherapist suggests role-play, Martha realises that despite her advancing years there’s only one solution to her torpor. She needs to rob another bank.
