520    Hideaway Self Storage, located just off Brisbane's M1, is 
       in decline. But manager Ken Guy and his assistant Bruce 
       carry on with their daily rituals even as the facility 
       falls apart around them. Lately, however, certain tenants 
       have been disappearing off the face of the earth, leaving 
       behind units full of valuable items. Ken has no idea where
       these rent defaulters have gone but he thinks he might be 
       able to turn their abandoned 'things' into a nice little 
       earner that could help save his business. But the 
       disappearances are accompanied by strange occurrences such
       as Bruce's inexplicable late-night excursions, Ken's 
       intensifying aversion to fluorescent lights, and Ken's 
       girlfriend's intensifying aversion to Ken. While further 
       along the motorway, construction of a rival facility - 
       Pharoah's Tomb Self Storage, part of a nationwide 
       franchise - hints at a mysterious past and a precarious 
       future. A surprisingly funny study of physical and mental 
       deterioration, David Cohen's second novel is never quite 
       what it seems. Sharply attuned to the absurdities of 
       contemporary urban life, it is that rare literary beast, a
       comic drama that is at once intelligent and suspenseful, 
       humorous and deep.
