Synopsis

Raphael is a dumpsite boy. He spends his days wading through mountains of steaming trash, sifting it, sorting it, breathing it, sleeping next to it. Then one unlucky-lucky day, Raphael's world turns upside down. A small leather bag falls into his hands. It's a bag of clues. It's a bag of hope. It's a bag that will change everything. Soon Raphael and his friends Gardo and Rat are running for their lives. Wanted by the police, it takes all their quick-thinking, fast-talking to stay ahead. As the net tightens, they uncover a dead man's mission to put right a terrible wrong. It's three street-boys against the world...

Media Reviews
One of the most exciting and original novels of the year ... It's a tight, thrilling story, told from various characters' perspectives and has a Slumdog, -feel-good pulse beating through it. A genuine treasure find -- Sally Morris The Daily Mail Outstanding, hotly anticipated thriller ... an exceptionally satisfying plot -- Amanda Craig The Times Trash is a thriller with moral weight and a complex structure ... Without ever moralising, Mulligan raises issues of corruption, poverty, waste and excess in an exciting, but also grimly sad tale -- Suzi Feay Financial Times Great stuff: taut, plausible and thought-provoking -- Toby Clements Daily Telegraph The story has an infectious energy ... A highly entertaining and very satisfying book which should be recommended to all. It needs to be read -- Marilyn Brocklehurst Bookseller
