Liz Meredith and her new baby move into the middle row-house on Onley Street. Liz has lived for years off-grid in an old railcar. For her, there ’s more to get used to than electricity and proper plumbing. She ’s desperate to avoid her well-meaning social worker and her neighbour's Alice and Tom, who, for reasons of their own, won ’t leave her alone. And then there is her other neighbour, the disfigured and reclusive John Green, better known to the world as Frankie Styne, the author of a series of violent bestsellers.

When his latest novel is unexpectedly nominated for a literary prize, he fears his private life will be exposed in the glare of publicity, Frankie plots a gruesome, twisted revenge that threatens others who call Onley Street home.

Frankie Styne and the Silver Man is unforgettable: a thrilling novel of literary revenge, celebrity culture and the power of love and beauty in an ugly world.

Those who enjoy beautifully crafted words that create interesting characters.

Like we all have stories behind us that no one really knows about.

I met the author of this book at a Wild Writer's festival. She was doing a workshop on creating character and I wanted to read something of hers. She manages to create characters that are full of light and dark aspects.
Writes beautifully and that is what pulls me into this tale.

I found it a little weird for my tastes.
