Claustrophobic, intense, troubled, these twelve astonishing stories hold a flare to the strange, elusive corners of our world, past and present from the United States of the Gold Rush era to the Berlin of today, from Victorian England to the dusty border towns and high cities of modern South America.A young couples passionate affair unravels as they wait anxiously in their hotel room for news of a recklessly conceived drug deal. An academic inherits a set of diaries detailing her greatgrandfathers development of a bizarre new field of science an endeavour which has shocking implications for his young daughter and unfaithful wife.And in Greenfly, a housebound woman is driven to distraction by the insects infesting her house putting strain on an already fractured relationship with her partner.Lees stories announce the arrival of a writer whose vision is razor sharp, blackly funny and startlingly original.
