Sixteen-year-old Shelley tells this dark and gripping story. Bullied so badly at school that she has to leave and surviving – just - her parents’ bitter divorce, Shelley and her mum hole up in an isolated house, miles from anywhere. When their private peace is shattered by a violent intruder Shelley unleashes all her anger and takes matters into her own hands. But Shelley’s actions create new shocking new problems; how do you dispose of a dead body? And how do you stop anyone else finding out about it? A tense thriller with an unflinching heart.

A Piece of Passion from the Publisher of Mice, Maria Rejt:
"Mice is not a thriller that conforms particularly to what a bestselling thriller purports to be these days – there are no serial killers, no high-octane car chases, no baroque methods of torture.  It begins as a simple tale of domesticity which, within a matter of pages, has evolved into an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that literally will not let you go.

"The set up is simple.  A middle-aged woman and her teenage daughter escape to a rural idyll.  They are retreating from the  miseries of  failed relationships and vicious school bullying.  Together and alone in the country they are safe.   Until a stranger intrudes and a split second decision sends their world into tailspin.

"Gordon Reece is an author who has such empathy with his characters and such control over his plotting that the reader is held in a vice-grip. Once started, there is no escaping his story which hurtles to a truly chilling and haunting climax.  I loved its simplicity and power  but it is the ending which stays with you long after the last page has been turned."

A gripping, unique suspense thriller with a chilling twist . . .
