From the rear cover
Danny is a boy on the edge. A boy teetering on the brink of no return, living in fear. Cathy is his mother. She's been broken by fear. Chris Kane is fear - and they belong to him. But one day they escape. They're looking for freedom, for a promised land where they can start really living. Instead they find prejudice, and danger of another kind. Uncompromising and disturbing, Alan Gibbons' novel positively crackles with tension as he writes about a mother and her son desperate to start a new life. Winner of the Angus Book Award 2004 and shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. "a brilliant thriller . . . No film or televising could compete with the immediacy of this intense plotting." Lindsey Fraser, Sunday Herald
