Broadlake is a tragicomic exploration of family, friendship, love and loss. In Ed Bingham’s strikingly original debut novel, an epic rhyming narrative is linked to a murder case, forging a unique literary detective story. 

The deceased narrator has one day left to pinpoint the origins of his downfall. Yet why is he in such a rush and did his demise stem from his childhood, his career, his friends or his doomed relationships? Will he find the answer before it is too late and how will his account affect the outcome of the murder investigation?

Recently featured on BBC Radio Kent, BBC Radio Sussex and BBC Radio Surrey, Broadlake is a true labour of love written over the course of two decades. Bingham follows in the tradition of long poem connoisseurs, Eliot, Frost, Ginsberg and Seth.
