'All things truly wicked start from an innocence.' [Ernest Hemingway]Strawberry ice cream and a glass eye, the smog of London and murderous intent. In this life, there are some monsters that hide out in the open. Set in London and the beauty of the Cornish countryside, '76 and the Odd 93' is a dark, contemporary novel set in England. At its heart it is crime-noir in genre, but it also includes elements of romance, dark humour and religious fantasy in an exploration of how being the victim of physical, emotional and mental abuse as a child might transpose into the actions of an adult.Is anywhere safe?
