Elsie, Book One: Mean Streets

di R T Green (Autore)

Wise Owl, 2023

The murky world of the confidential informant is a risky way to live a life. Taking it to extremes only means one thing. Mortal danger... When tragedy strikes, for Elsie there is only one thing left to do. Make sure those responsible pay for what they did. She has one advantage… as a rough sleeper she's already under the radar. She's not a typical rough sleeper. For her it's a bitter choice, not a necessity. Twenty-one years old, intelligent and smart, she could have been anything she wanted, if not for one fateful episode a few short years ago, which instantly ended every dream she ever had. Betrayed and demoralised, she finally quit what was once a happy home and joined the sleeper community in Norwich, soon discovering she had more in common with people who accepted her for who she was, than she did with those she left behind. Elsie has forged a life on the streets, now and again taking a liberty or two, but generally staying within the bounds of the law. She's formed a strong bond with a teenage boy, who she tries to look out for… even though he's only two years younger. It's not easy, especially of late… she worries he's sinking into a quicksand he'll never get out of, but he refuses to even talk about it. She's not his mum… their friendship is more important than behaving like one. Then, the day arrives that changes her life. An unfortunate set of circumstances leads to Elsie coming face-to-face with someone who makes an unexpected and dramatic impact. A great big, impossible to ignore impact. It all starts with getting arrested for indecent exposure... Do check out everything else we create on the rtgreen website. And enjoy!
