Mrs May - Blurb A respectable married schoolteacher journeys from
the comfortable middle-class suburbs of a university city into its
seamy subcultures. She is on a mission to rescue a teenage boy who
has turned his back on privilege to run feral on the streets. It is
a quest that will transform both their lives. In the unravelling of
the boy's tangled psychology, the woman becomes lost in the dark
recesses of her own psyche. So who will be redeemed in the end, the
wayward boy or the tormented woman who came to save him? Perhaps
both... Perhaps neither... David Pick's is a new and important
voice on the block: acute observation, accomplished writing, and a
story that sucks you in from page one. A fine read. Graham Hurley,
author of the best-selling D/I Faraday series. Mrs May is more than
a psychological thriller. Mrs May sheds light on the shadowy world
of youth crime and youth justice, raising issues that society would
be foolish to ignore. Mrs May will make you think. David Pick has
produced a blistering read, which, through medium of personal
tragedy and redemption explores a subject too often hidden from the
public gaze, the effect on an individual who does not conform to
the restrictions of the system and falls through a gap that lacks
any kind of safety net. To bring about change in a troubled life it
takes only one person to care, but that sometimes comes at a cost
to the individual concerned. This is the territory explored in Mrs
May in a psycho-sexual roller coaster that is impossible to put
down. Jack Ludlow, author of The Burning Sky
