Book Description:
Appearances can be deceptive…
Arnold Eastwood is thrilled when social services allocate him a flat all of his own. Independence hasn’t come easily to a young man with Downs Syndrome but now he has the chance to live free from his mum’s nagging, find a girlfriend, watch endless movies and make new friends.
Meanwhile a London drug gang is setting up a supply line in Arnold’s town. They’re looking for someone to deliver drugs for them and somewhere to set up a base of operations.
Soon Arnold and his flat are in the drug gang’s sights. Drawn into the dark underworld of crack cocaine and modern slavery, Arnold soon discovers that friends can in fact be deadly enemies.
The question is: can he break free?
MY REVIEW
Crikey what a story. The author sure hooked me with this storyline.
Arnold, a young man with Downs Syndrome, has his dreams come through when he gets his own flat. Arnold is a lovely trusting character and that is probably his downfall in this story. When a drug ring sets their sights on him his life is about to change and not for the better. Can he escape from their clutches?
You can see the author has experience in the way she has told the story. I’m looking forward to reading more from her in the future.
