A Bird of Dereliction

More about the book

Most people’s lives begin with the presumption of innocence but end inevitably in murder, one way or another.So what is the best way to fill that awkward gap between birth and death?These stories offer the definitive guide.The strange disturbing world we occupy is only loosely based on these cautionary tales.But who hasn’t met a pear with murderous intent, or a lodger with a sniff as lethal as a deadly weapon?How often is it not the case that whole families are swallowed by holes that suddenly appear in the floor?What toddler is not a scheming psychopath?And should the cadavers of politicians really be free to walk the corridors of mortuaries at night?Surely death comes to us but once in a lifetime.Think again.International Edition Published by Dr Aquaspine Publishing
