Chris's life of luxury is gone, devastated by the collapse of the European economy. Huddled in a small room with his petrified ten-year-old son, Chris made the decision to stay in his lavish and once cherished home. Gas, water, and electricity are all cut off; his wife and daughter have gone, and food is running out.
Driven by the need to survive, Chris has decided to keep secrets from his son. Secrets that will make everything else up until this point seem trivial. Secrets that-one way or another-will come out before the day is done.
Cowering in his home, he watches as his neighbours are dragged into the street and brutally executed by a small army of psychotic scavengers hell-bent on making the formerly privileged pay. As they methodically purge each home, Chris realizes that staying was the worst decision of his life. Secrets or not, he has to act fast; the murderous pack only has one more house before they reach his...

What the reviewers say:
"There are a quite a few adjectives I could use to describe Crash: frightening, graphic, raw, disturbing... and wonderfully written and brilliantly compelling! But let's hope it isn't prophetic! The book really is a great read, and the first time I read it, I couldn't put it down - simply had to finish it." Mark Hooper, Angel Editing.
This is an incredible novel with extreme social/political relevance which took a lot of guts to produce.
I like this book a lot. It's not one of those books that plays the game of being nice, it's dark, decisive and hard edged.
Well written and suspenseful. Gritty and barbaric.
This book, though not for the faint of heart, is excellent.

The First Step
Christopher's life has always been a slow collapse - one cigarette, one lie, one high at a time. He's seventeen, half-alive, and running out of ways to convince himself he's fine. Nights blur into mornings, friends turn into ghosts, and the city's streets are starting to feel more like a grave than a home. Ander's been trying to save him for years. Best friend, brother, lifeline - whatever it takes. But even loyalty has limits, and watching Christopher burn himself down piece by piece is breaking him in ways he can't name. When Christopher crosses paths with Anthony - a quiet store clerk with kind eyes and a steady voice - it feels like maybe there's still something left to hold onto. But old habits don't let go easy. Drugs, guilt, and the ghosts of every bad choice claw their way back, dragging him deeper. Caught between people who love him and demons that never really left, Christopher is forced to face what's left of himself - and decide if survival is something he even wants anymore. -Back Cover- The rain never really stops in this town. It just changes tempo. Seventeen-year-old Christopher Blade is running out of places to hide- from the ghosts in his head, from the memories that won't stay buried, and from the people still trying to save him. When a relapse spirals into psychosis, the line between what's real and what's not begins to dissolve, leaving him lost in a world only he can see. Ander, the boy who keeps looking for him. Anthony, who refuses to walk away. Matteo, a stranger with a kindness that feels almost impossible. All of them circle Christopher's life like orbiting moons, pulled in by gravity, trying to catch a falling star before it burns out completely. But some people don't get better. Some storms don't clear. And for Christopher, every drop of rain is another reminder that no matter how far he runs, he can't outrun himself. "No, I don't believe there's a place I can go, a place to get away from it all."Complete
Kill Who You Want
What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open woundComplete
