'Blow Your House Down is swift, spare and utterly absorbing - you'll probably read it, as I did, in one tense sitting' NEW YORK TIMES 'A courageous and disturbing novel' ELIZABETH WARD, WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD 'Despite its black humour, it is a deeply political book' BELINDA WEBB, GUARDIAN A serial killer stalks prostitutes with profound and unexpected consequences in this riveting novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Ghost Road.

A city and its people are in the grip of a killer who is roaming the northern city, singling out prostitutes.

The face of his latest victim stares out from every newspaper and billboard, haunting the women who walk the streets.

But life and work go on. Brenda, with three children, can't afford to give up while Audrey, now in her forties, desperately goes on 'working the cars'. And then, when another woman is savagely murdered, Jean, her lover, takes desperate measures . . .
