At Oxford he studied bar billiards, ancient Greek agriculture and the care and feeding of small, temperamental Japanese motorcycle engines; interests which led him, perhaps inevitably, to qualify as a solicitor and emigrate to Somerset, where he specialized in death and taxes for seven years before going straight in 1995. He lives in Chard, Somerset, with his wife and daughter.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Orbit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50410491445522,"sku":"9780316003391","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_c55c009f-37e8-43e0-976b-8d1aecc3734b.jpg?v=1729304280","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/evil-for-evil-9780316003391","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
