An electrifying wild-ride of a debut novel from award-winning playwright Anders Lustgarten Meet Cherry, a bandit queen on the run, driving a pink soft-top convertible through the Badlands of Southeast England. She's never felt more Thelma and Louise in her life - except there are three of them in the car and one of them is dead. How did a head nurse and mother of two end up driving a handcuffed policeman and the corpse of a murdered refugee on a journey to find justice? Pursued by a racist, roid-raged, shaven-headed officer of the law - not to mention by her husband and daughter - what else can a woman with a conscience do in modern Britain? Thrilling, radical and darkly comedic, Anders Lustgarten's open-hearted storm of a book explores pressing political concerns with clear-sightedness and holds a mirror up to contemporary Britain.

Tricky things, memories. Not always the way you remember them. When Ben, a successful London lawyer, returns home for his father's funeral after thirteen years away, he is confronted with uncomfortable truths about the community and family he left behind. Anders Lustgarten, one of Britain's bravest and toughest writers of political fiction, produces an unflinching, insightful and utterly hilarious look at sibling rivalry, small town blues and exactly where the new British fascism comes from. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere of The City and the Town in February 2023.
