THE SWAP
Book ID/图书代码： 00470006B08134
English Summary/英文概要： As the owner of a comic shop, a devout drinker, smoker and full-time misanthropist, he’s spent much of his time wondering what might have been had he chosen another path. Nothing in Harvey’s life has changed since the last reunion, five years ago, and short of inventing a fabulous new life. Until Josh, his sole employee and only true friend, suggests he may have opportunity to reclaim a very rare comic Harvey once swapped, does he galvanise himself into action. On arrival at the crowded event he meets the much-maligned Charles, who has now matured into a successful businessman and appears nauseatingly content with his lot. But as Harvey makes inroads to retrieve his lost comic, he begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. The worthless item he exchanged it for must have some significance...
