ABOUT THE BOOK

An astonishing debut novel--Blue Velvet meets Oedipus Rex-- about an eight-year-old psychopath in (where else?) Southern California.  If you spot it, grab it. A powerful piece of work."  J.G. Ballard

Eight-year-old Phillip Davis describes his life with his mother, Margaret, living as transients, and using stolen credit cards to finance their day-to-day existence
