?There?s a devil in me... sometimes that spells danger? A teacher loses one of her pupils somewhere in the London Underground. A catwalk model reveals the grisly secret of looking good. Slacker friends are forced into action over an accidental murder. A bomb?s aftershock is felt fifty years later. Sex toys become instruments of fate. The suburbs are besieged, star scandals are revealed, epic tragedy turns to triumph and a cry for help flares briefly in the night... Black comedy, high farce, dark revelations... they all go to make up Christopher Fowler?s powerful collection of immoral tales.
