Synopsis
Piranha Heights
$15.99 Published by Methuen
Set on Mother's Day in a housing association flat, this focuses on two middle-aged brothers, Alan and Terry, who in the wake of their mother's death are disputing the right to live in the flat
But the ante is upped by the arrival of the violently excitable Medic and his Muslim girlfriend, Lily, in full hijab, who claims to be an asylum seeker who has been the victim of appalling atrocities
But all is not what it seems either in the flat or Ridley's rapidly spiralling tragic farce ...
