Product Description

Review
"A psychological thriller that is cold, scary, and as compelling as staring at a maggoty corpse... Cold Town is not easily forgotten."

Product Description
Terry Fielding has his own way of escaping his problems. The jagged twists and turns of Soho. The stairwell leading down. He has a lot to escape from. An unrewarding job. A loveless, childless marriage. A neurotic wife obsessed with another woman's child. And a secret in his own past - a leather-bound scrapbook in his study filled with pictures of a little girl who died twenty-five years ago. When he meets the enigmatic Rosina, all that ceases to matter. Nothing matters but the time they spend alone together - the long nights in cheap hotels where they lie smoking side by side and talk about everything. Corruption. Amorality. Murder. But is Rosina really Terry's soul mate? When Terry finally realises how far apart they are, it's too late to do anything but the worst thing in the world ...

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of normality with abnormality creeping closer, 2 Sep 2001
By Ms. E. Hayes (Leicestershie) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Terry and Maria Fielding have been married for eight years. He in advertising, with a career going down hill, she in Credit Control, a rising star.

Faced with his growing inadequacies in both his childless marriage and his job, coupled with the threat of possible redundancy, Terry becomes increasingly reluctant to go home, and to escape, he takes refuge in a Soho Club. Here he meets the exciting and enigmatic Rosina, a hostess with whom he becomes totaly fascinated and who he comes to believe, will be his salvation. But Rosina is obsessed with secrets in her own past and can, or does she want to provide the understanding and support Terry needs as he clings desparately to his sanity.

As Maria comes to understand that her promotion carries a price, and as she struggles to understand Terry's silences, she devotes more and more of her time to Lisa, her sisters child, to combat her growing feelings of isolation.

Conscious of guilt over their childless marriage, and unable to communicate with Maria, Terry becomes more inward as he wrestles with a terrible secret in his past that he thought he had buried, but that now fills his every waking hour.

Written from both points of view, with vivid glimpses into the past, this is a powerful story of two people trapped in normality with abnormality creeping closer and closer each day.

Lizzie Hayes.
