By the winner of the 1992 Whitbread Award, this novel takes a memorable trip down the assembly line of the Centaur Car Company. The journey frequently borders on the surreal and is studded with bizarre characters, such as "Tombstone" Telfer, a man who believes smiling is a fatal condition.

Jeff Torrington (1935–2008) was born in the Gorbals, Glasgow. He had a wide-ranging career, working as a packing-case nailer, a cinema projectionist, a fruit-market porter, labourer, postman and as a fireman on the railways. He wrote novels and short stories, drawing on the changing face of modern Scotland.
His first novel Swing Hammer Swing! took 30 years to write and won the 1992 Whitbread Book of the Year Award.
Following his Whitbread award-winning Swing Hammer Swing!, Jeff Torrington invites you to visit the assembly lines at the Centaur Car Company. There you will meet Curly Brogan, who, for a hoax, fakes his own death with devastating consequences; Wormsley, the cuckolded nut-and-bolt man; and the Martians from the top management. And watch what happens when the Devil turns up to claim his own.
