This is a love story, pure and simple - with a dash of murder and a free set of steak knives.
Merry is a very nice person who does a very nasty thing. On the run, her life in ruins, she hides out in a suburb destroyed in the name of cultural improvement. Merry's only hope is two doors away, in the heart of James, a man who knows terror well and has the power of death stored carefully in his attic... From the author of the cult success Nature Strip comes this fast, furious and wickedly funny novel.
