This award-winning novel, celebrated as the Sunday Times Science Fiction Novel of the Year, unfolds in a near-future Europe where the fate of the planet's most intelligent fish—the once-revered venomous lumpsucker—hangs in the balance. As the world turns a blind eye to its impending extinction, two unlikely protagonists, Mark Halyard and Karin Resaint, find themselves entwined in a gripping adventure.

Mark, a mining mogul on the verge of incarceration, and Karin, a biologist shrouded in mystery, are forced together by circumstance. Their journey takes them through:

  • A nature reserve plagued by toxic waste
  • A floating metropolis in the Baltic Sea
  • The perilous fringes of an authoritarian regime

As they delve deeper into the mysteries surrounding the venomous lumpsucker, they unearth a conspiracy that challenges the very notions of extinction and humanity's role in the ecological crisis.

Praise from The Financial Times highlights the novel's unique blend of poignancy and spectacle, while The Daily Mail commends its brutal satire and dark humor. Venomous Lumpsucker not only entertains but also ignites critical reflection on environmental issues, making it a must-read for fans of thought-provoking fiction.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
