This title is an outstanding debut thriller for an exceptional new talent. James Carroll only meant to do one deal to get to film school. But it went wrong. Now he owes GBP30,000 to drug-dealer Roger Oates. Just a year of quiet business away from retiring with his beloved family to his dream home in Honolulu, Roger knows this is no time to let anyone get away with anything. So if James can't pay, his parents must. But Francis Carroll has put everything he has into a project that will finally bring him the success he craves. He simply cannot afford to bail out his son. And his ambitious wife Rachel wants a baby - while his dangerously alluring first wife wants him back. It's no good asking them. Everyone wants to keep a grip: on their money and their jobs; on their dreams. But something's got to give. Written with terrific verve and a sharp eye for the details of human behaviour, "Grip" is a roller-coaster ride of suspense and surprises.
