'Brilliant' SUNDAY TIMES
'Compelling and unnerving' SPECTATOR

This first collection of stories by Lawrence Osborne perfectly showcases his talent for tension, atmosphere - and characters out of their depth

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A deaf girl hired as a maid by a wealthy New York couple turns the tables on her obliviously abusive employers and answers blackmail with blackmail. A psychiatrist treating a girl in rural England becomes ensnared in a love affair that threatens to destroy her career. A naive young linguist sent to the forests of Irian Jaya is manipulated into betraying her mission by a ruthless and disturbed pastor.

Lawrence Osborne's stories explore characters lost in the shadowed borders between the mundane, the fantastical and the violence of the natural world.
