The outstanding new novel from the award-winning author of The Greatest Gift is another immensely original and high-concept work of fiction.Danny Leigh's new novel brings together two disparate characters: Wilson Velez, a gang lord in solitary confinement, slowly losing his mind and Lizbeth Greene, a celebrated crime novelist, whose inspiration is beginning to run dry. When Lizbeth decides that writing a book about Velez could revivify her ailing career, she begins to visit him in prison. Gradually, she becomes drawn into Wilson's dark world and the pair engage in a complex, and fascinating dance of attraction and rejection: Lizbeth needs Wilson to kick-start her career; Wilson needs Lizbeth to get out of solitary confinement. Laced through the narrative is a children's book - called The Monsters Of Gramercy Park - which mirrors the increasingly intimate and dangerous relationship between Lizbeth and Velez. Danny Leigh has created a dark and compelling novel that is also a tender love story.
