Product Information
From the best-selling author of Max and the House of the Wicked.Long-listed by Richard & Judy/Macmillan/Channel Four, a different kind of novel blending D. M. Mitchell's trademark skill of believable characterisation, dark suspense and intricate plotting, with love, friendship and humour.
'For all guitarists, life is a journey with strings attached...'
Frank Harris is on the run. Again. Firstly from his large debts and an equally large Irishman he owes it to; secondly from Larry the violent drug pusher he shared a squat with and who ideally wants him dead; and thirdly from himself.
As he flees the city, by chance he hears a piece of music playing on a radio, something he wrote for his failed rock band thirty years ago. Like a hare bolting for cover he heads north, headlong into the lives of the surviving band members, each now going their own very different ways.
But Frank Harris spells trouble and always has done. Whe n he persuades the group to get back together for one last gig, the tragedies of the past and the problems of the present come crashing together with violent consequences.
Alternating between the 1970s and the present, Pressure Cooker is a tale of the trials and tribulations of difficult friendships and painful love; of teenage dreams and dashed hopes; of tragedy, comedy and redemption.
Discover for yourself why D. M. Mitchell is being hailed as one of the UK's most imaginative new writers of contemporary fiction.
Also by D. M. Mitchell and available on Kindle: 'Max' a psychological thriller - over 30,000 copied downloaded in four weeks.
