About the Book

One night. One motorway. One seemingly endless traffic jam. As darkness falls, the traffic jam lengthens, and motorists turn off their engines. Then they get out of their cars. And so the story begins. People from all walks of life are thrown together on the M25. There are Max and Ursula, a bickering married couple with a friend's child in the back seat; hungover Shauna, on her way back from a wedding; dope-smoking students Dave, Stevie and Natalie; white-van men Chris and Rhys; Shahid, a charismatic aspiring footballer; Harold, a Scottish academic and M25 historian; Hsiao May, an insect expert; and Waitrose Tony, whose delivery van becomes the target of hungry motorists. As the minutes become hours and impatience turns to anger, the tension grows. Secrets are revealed. Friendships are made. Relationships are broken. And lives are changed.

Review :
'Simons's charm lies in the loving attention he devotes to his characters' - The Herald 'Jake Wallis Simons' bold and perceptive state-of-the-nation novel is like a ticking time bomb. Bringing together characters from all walks of life and allowing them to collide in the urban, metal-scape of the M25 is an eye-opening experience' - CultureFly 'Jam is a terrific read: a fascinating, well written and beautifully structured look at a cross section of modern society and human beings in general' - Nut Press 'Jake Wallis Simons homes in on the motorway like a modern Dante' - Telegraph
