Why a Booktrail?
2000s: They say you never know your neighbour…until one of them dies..
The Man on the Middle Floor
What you need to know before your trail
Nick, Tam and Karen live on three floors of a south London house. One is struggling to find his place in society, one is drowning his sorrows in alcohol, and one has embarked on a life-changing research project.
Despite their proximity, they are completely disconnected. That is, until a murder in the house brings them together, irrevocably.
One of them is guilty, one wants to find out who did it, and one wants to find out why.
Unsettling, illuminating and thrilling in equal measures, The Man on the Middle Floor will make you think twice about those who lives around you. It is a book about society, about detachment, about guilt.
It’s about a crime where the question is not who but why.
Travel Guide
London
Not a book for a booktrail but rather a spring board for discussing autism and more. The action takes place in a house which has been transformed into apartments. All those who live in the house don’t really know each other or anything about each others lives. A typical house in a typical city you might say, but there are a range of characters – Karen,middle aged who lives on the top floor on her own. Nick, a young man with Asperger’s, and Tam who used to work in the police.
This is a story about a city, an anonymous flat, the people you live closest to without every really knowing and the fact that we never really know anyone unless we take the time to understand them and see the world through their eyes. Even Richmond Park, a huge park in the capital city becomes somewhere “where you could lose yourself”/
