Objects of Desire - Chapter 4


There's news on the death of Perry Stiffley - a pulmonary embolism brought on by a heroin overdose. And he was just a ten-year-old kid...

Jess is fazed by this and recalls what Nic told her, when she used to see him; live in the world, not your mind. Easy for him to say. And there isn't time to waste - she has to visit Bryony's mother to say that the case of the bruising on her daughter's legs won't be pursued. But Carwen Pearce isn't there and Jess gets the brush-off from her partner, Marty, smelling of oil and fish.

All she wants after that is a quiet evening in, but an email waiting for her throws her world into turmoil as the past catches up with her.

To listen to the full podcast of this instalment click here, or buy the book from Amazon, Waterstones or all good bookshops.

Hi,

I loved the book, compelling story, and even better of course when you're familiar with the settings.

A further mystery ... are Crescenet and Multifuncional in fact the same persona ... or gemina separated at birth ... they should meet.
