Another savory offering from Granelli! The characters are rich and easy to believe, and the plot is intoxicating. As usual, I couldn't stop for breath in the last quarter of the book! I'm eager for more thrillers in this vein.

A gritty and edgy novel set in the backdrop of the Welsh Valleys. It explores levels of addiction and its effects on an individuals life and family. A powerful and gripping read.
