Product Description
Product Description
Jim Barry is a family man and proud of it. He's already begun educating his five-year-old son Tommy on the finer points of ball games. But when a tragic accident at a kids' practice session leaves another boy dead, the bereaved father decides to seek his own special brand of restitution. Unless Jim and his wife Belle hand over Tommy as a replacement, Stefan Sebastyen swears he will kill them all. And pretty soon they realise that this is a guy who's more than capable of keeping his word. With their backs to the wall, it's Belle who comes up with a desperate plan to save her family...

Format:Paperback
The idea to replay Peter Pan with modern dilemmas like infertility is brilliantly executed. The book's full of interesting ideas and subplots which make it a pacey read throughout, all heading to an ending that's really gripping. The dialogue is very natural and funny - the bit about what kind of music they play in heaven really made me laugh, but there are loads of great one-liners too - and it was so refreshing to have strong female characters dominating the action.
Format:Paperback
...Imagine Peter Pan re-worked by Peckinpah circa The Getaway - only with kids taking the place of money, and the ruthless naasty ones turn out to be the mothers. Good stuff.
