From the Back Cover:
You don't have to tell Artie about loyalty: he's protected his inheritance - the old fish shop on the High Street that was his dad's, and his granddad's before that, though he'd dreamt of better things; he's stuck by his mates even though they've got themselves mixed up with bad blood on the estate. And then there's Madeleine, his beautiful, sexy wife, who everybody said was too good for him. He wants to give her the benefit of the doubt, he really does, but all the signs are telling him otherwise, and he's certain that she is having an affair - so much for loyalty. Now he just has to prove it.

Skin And Bone

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. Artie lives in Slipp - a tawdry, urban setting, a mixture of big estates and what's left of the old town. When his father died, he inherited the family fishmongers on the High Street. He could have hauled himself out of Slipp, gone to college, were it not for looking after his mum. Artie is a good-looking guy. He's married to the gorgeous, middle-class, university-educated Madelaine, who he's known since school. She is confident and independent and works in the theatre. There are two big estates in Slipp at war with each other, and tensions rise as Artie gets caught up in a ugly brawl in a pub leaves the brother of one of Slipp's hard men maimed, setting off a grim and threatening chain of events. Artie's main obsession of late is that his wife is having an affair. For some time he has been collecting evidence to trap her. He rifles her handbag, looking for telephone numbers, unfamiliar names, he inspects her underwear for signs of illicit sex, and tries to second-guess what she might be doing to cover her tracks. Gradually a picture of his paranoia begins to emerge, but equally Madelaine's behaviour is questionable. When Artie becomes convinced that Madelaine's affair is with the local property developer, who wants Artie out of the shop, he takes matters into his own hands and as the tension of these two parallel obsessions tightens, Artie brings about his own, dramatic resolutions. 'Shocking and grimly funny. This is a book soaked in disquieting atmosphere and threaded with thrillerish tension. It is erotic; brutal in its portrayal of urban squalor and poverty; sparky and pacey. A sharp novel with a vivid contemporary feel' Lesley Glaister. 318 pages. Seller Inventory # 1429629
