This shocking debut novel from award-winning journalist Paul
Kennedy tells the twisted tales of three lives a million miles
apart as they come crashing together with disastrous consequences.
Away on business, Dirk McVee is the self proclaimed 'Carpet King of
Texas' - but work is the last thing on his mind as he prowls
Liverpool's underbelly to quench his thirst for sexual kicks.
Teenager Jade Thompson is far too trusting for her own good. In
search of a guiding light and influential figure, she slips away
from her loving family and into a life where no one emerges
unscathed. And John Jones Junior is the small boy with the grown-up
face. With a drug addicted father, no motherly love, no hope, and
no future, he has no chance at all. "The Carpet King of Texas" is a
gritty and gruesome, humorous and harrowing story of a world we all
live in but rarely see. Three jacket colours available - Blue,
Yellow or Pink.
