'Tales from the Greenhills'

The hottest of summers in 1976.

In Liverpool, set against the backdrop of the music of Bowie and Bolan, seventeen-year-old Tommy is doing his best to get close to his girlfriend Linda. After she breaks up with him, he is determined to prove himself and falls in with the local drug dealers.

Whilst walking his beloved dog Butch, he encounters the ‘Scarecrow Man’, forcing him to do the unthinkable. He has no choice but to flee for his life and his freedom... only to find that nowhere is safe. 

Publishers Notes: The book has been edited to reflect the traits of modernist prose, so local dialect is a main feature. There is also an emphasis on individualism, self-expression, alienation, and disillusionment. The book also has a playlist of Tommy's favourite songs.

Genre: Crime, Historical Fiction, Coming of Age
