Frank Harris is on the run. Again. Firstly from his large debts and an
equally large Irishman he owes it to; secondly from Larry the violent
drug pusher he shared a squat with and who ideally wants him dead; and
thirdly from himself.
As he flees the city, by chance he hears a
piece of music playing on a radio, something he wrote for his failed
rock band thirty years ago. Like a hare bolting for cover he heads
north, headlong into the lives of the surviving band members, each now
going their own very different ways.
But Frank Harris spells
trouble and always has done. When he persuades the group to get back
together for one last gig, the tragedies of the past and the problems of
the present come crashing together with violent consequences.
Alternating
between the 1970s and the present, Pressure Cooker is a tale of the
trials and tribulations of difficult friendships and painful love; of
teenage dreams and dashed hopes; of tragedy, comedy and redemption.
Discover
for yourself why D. M. Mitchell is being hailed as one of the UK's most
imaginative new writers of contemporary fiction.
