Synopses & Reviews
"There's a devil in me...sometimes that spells danger."
A teacher loses one of her pupils somewhere in the London Underground. A catwalk model reveals the grisly secret of looking good. Slacker friends are forced into action over an accidental murder. A bomb's aftershock is felt fifty years later. Sex toys become instruments of fate. The suburbs are besieged, star scandals are revealed, epic tragedy turns to triumph and a cry for help flares briefly in the night...
Black comedy, high farce, dark revelations...they all go to make up Christopher Fowler's powerful collection of immoral tales.
