Description
In an ordinary suburb, a seemingly ordinary man tends his garden and tries to impress his neighbours as a heat wave clamps over the city. But all is not as it seems, and as death begins to stalk the city's streets and parks he finds himself caught up in a game beyond his control that brings terror to his very doorstep, and nothing about him or the place he lives will ever be the same again. "I read it with the greatest pleasure ... A fascinating portrayal ..." - Zoe Wicomb (Playing in the Light and David's Story) "A powerful and uncomfortable novel ... A psychologically rich study of a character ... and a gripping narrative ..." - Tom Pow (Captives) "Remarkable ..." - Frank Kuppner (Something Very Like Murder and A Very Quiet Street) COMMENDED in the YEOVIL LITERARY PRIZE and the CINNAMON PRESS NOVEL AWARD David Manderson is a novelist, short story writer and literary and film historian.
