Stag Hunt

Stag Hunt follows a group of four barely functioning men at a stag party in a quiet cottage on the Gower Peninsula in Wales who, on a Friday night, get very drunk indeed and find something even worse than their hangovers the next morning: a dead clown in their bathtub. With no recollection of events and all seeming to have a motive or opportunity to kill the clown, they wonder how things can get any worse until there's a knock on their door and they are interrupted by a concerned neighbour, who happens to be an elderly retired detective walking his ex-cadaver dog.

Stag Hunt is a black comedy and the first novel by Welsh writer L.O. Boult, where not everything is as it seems.
