The Cardiff Trilogy

The Cardiff Trilogy

by JohnWilliams (Author)

Synopsis

Collected here are Williams' vibrant short stories and novels, set in a Cardiff where buildings are demolished, prostitutes roam the streets and bars, men embrace their midlife crises from the bottom of a bottle and romance is tainted. Williams cranks the tension high and breathes life into his fictional territory with humour and wicked twists.
