内容简介 Maria Price has inherited a big house in the best part of Manchester and more money than she ever dreamed of. An orphan since eleven, she thought she would never again have a family or security. Then she meets Joel Parry. Handsome, considerate, charming, and a wonderful lover, Joel seems to know everyone who is anyone in Manchester. And he just happens to need a place to stay. Before long, Joel has moved into Maria?s new house and is happy to help her spend her money. But Joel isn?t what he seems to be. He?s deep in Manchester?s drug scene. And his terrifying past is about to catch up with him?and the na?ve girl who trusts him.
作者简介 Mandasue was born in Cheshire and moved to Manchester in 1982. She spent ten years living in the notorious Hulme Cresecents which have since become the background to her novels. Not only is she a talented writer, but she has also sung in cabaret and rock groups, seventies soul cover bands and blues jam bands.
媒体推荐 "* 'Mandasue has played a real blinder with this great novel.' - Martina Cole on FORGET ME NOT * 'Cracking page-turner... a gritty compassionate account of life on the margins.' - Manchester Evening News on FORGET ME NOT * 'Gripping... powerful writing.' - Scotland on Sunday on FORGET ME NOT * 'Alarming and beguiling... curiously exhilarating.' - Scotsman on THE FRONT"
