Simon Lovat — Disorder and Chaos

Paperback; 1996; Consortium Book Sales & Dist; Conditie: Goed; When Keith, a civil servant in his late thirties, encounters Nick, teenaged, beautiful, down-and-out, utterly dishonest and amoral, a sequence of events is set in train which moves inexorably towards tragedy. And what is the connection between obsessive Monica with her eating disorders and the lesbian couple to whom Keith supplied sperm? Why do Monica's glamorous mother Zoe and her dentist father Lenny barely communicate? Why is Lenny's business partner intent upon blackmail? In this compelling first novel - which bears comparison with early Ruth Rendell - Simon Lovat explores the darker reaches of human experience and the consequences of secrets, repression and obsession in a way which leaves the reader breathless with suspense.; Engels; ISBN10: 187374126X, ISBN13: 9781873741269
