Cracks in the Pavement
​
Meet Daniel Walker, an enigmatic young man in his mid-twenties, living and working in the heart of Edinburgh. He is handsome, intelligent, sleep-deprived and often hungover. Dan works in a corporate office, hates his job and his moronic boss. Most of his time is spent in bars throughout the city, discussing the world and where it all went wrong.
​
​When his love interest, Emily, is attacked by a 'Dark Stranger', Dan must infiltrate an underground street community, to catch the elusive attacker.
'Cracks in the Pavement' is a darkly funny, sexually graphic Dickensian look at the dizzying heights and gritty depths of a fractured modern society.​​​
​
All the while, a real life monster lurks in the shadows, waiting for his chance...to strike!
REVIEWS

​
"This novel has many different facets. On one level it is a contemporary story about a young man's life. On another level it gets a bit erotic. And then the story goes into a bizarre Poirot-Twilight Zone ruse..." 3 stars, love4lit.com
