Taskmaster star Bob Mortimer will be releasing a sequel to his Sunday Times bestseller The Satsuma Complex.
One-half of the classic comedy duo Vic and Bob, the comedian has turned to fiction writing in recent years and had a bonafide hit with his aforementioned mystery story.
In The Satsuma Complex – available now as an audiobook on Audible or in paperback via Amazon – Bob weaved an intriguing mystery about a chance encounter between ordinary bloke Gary Thorn and the mysterious woman he calls Satsuma.

Unfortunately for Gary, he has an even bigger problem at hand because the arrival of the mysterious Mr Sequence has deadly implications.
"I missed Gary, Emily and Grace so much that I decided to write the next chapter in their adventures," Bob said in a statement. "Gary is slighter braver, Emily well out of her depth and Grace as stubborn and rude as ever.
"Together they might succeed, but separated they stand to fall. I wish them all the best and if you ever bump into them please feel free to buy them a slice of Battenberg.”
