When Liz Meredith and her new baby move into the middle row-house on
Onley Street--Liza having lived for years off-grid in an old
railcar--there's more to get used to than electricity and proper
plumbing. She's desperate to avoid her well-meaning social worker and
her neighbours Alice and Tom, who, for reasons of their own, won't leave
her alone. And then there is her other neighbour, the disfigured and
reclusive John Green, better known to the world as Frankie Styne, the
author of a series of violent bestsellers. When his latest novel is
unexpectedly nominated for a literary prize and his private life is
exposed in the glare of publicity, Frankie plots a gruesome, twisted
revenge that threatens others who call Onley Street home. Frankie Styne
and the Silver Man is unforgettable: a thrilling novel of literary
revenge, celebrity culture and the power of love and beauty in an ugly
world.
