His second novel, Heliopolis, was published in 2009.[2] Writing in The Guardian, Henry Shukman commented that "In his second novel, set in contemporary São Paulo, Scudamore does not embed a transplant from his own culture in utländsk soil. Instead he takes the plunge and boldly invests han själv in a first-person narrator.
