About the Book

It's a tale as old as time...

Boy meets girl in an internet chat room. Girl falls for boy. Boy falls for girl. Girl disappears without trace. Then boy discovers that girl lives in California, makes X-rated movies for a living and has a tumour the size of a walnut on her left buttock - a life-threatening melanoma she knows nothing about.

'Cheek' is the story of Dr Byron Wesley, the medical profession's most unpromising hero, and his journey across continents to track down a girl he's only ever met online. It's an epic odyssey that will take him from leafy Putney to the seedy underbelly of the Californian porn industry and back again - accompanied by best friend Jeremy, a man with the libido of a rutting rhino and the intellect to match.

En route, the two friends lock horns with some of pornography's least savoury personnel, upsetting the law enforcement communities on both sides of the Atlantic and almost - almost - losing the respect of the highly influential Putney & District Mothers' Union.

Dr Byron does track down elusive porn star, Nikki, of course - having ridden roughshod over his Hippocratic oath and the credit limit on his wife's Barclaycard - but she's hardly the model patient he'd hoped for. And when the only solution to her problems (and those of her worryingly fetching sister) seems to involve carting everyone back home to London, things look certain to go from bad to worse.

Cheek, by 'Single To Morden' author Spike Evans, is a dark and original comic tale that wrestles with the ultimate question of medical ethics - how far should you go to save a life?


About the Author: Spike Evans was brought up in Yorkshire. He devoted most of his twenties to lingering in education (well beyond any practical purpose), and a fairly decent portion of his thirties to paying off the ludicrous debts he accrued during the preceding decade. Spike has been marginally involved in a number of failed indie bands, writing and recording scores of largely unlistenable songs about being thwarted in love. This thankfully came to an end when he met his wife-to-be, Jo, with whom he lives beneath Luton Airport's 'approach' flight path with their cat, Fred. Every now and then Spike threatens to 'get back into' music - he recently acquired a banjo - but nothing substantial has come of it yet. 'Single To Morden' was his first novel. Its not-quite-follow-up, 'Cheek', was published in May 2015.
