Publisher's Synopsis
Imaginative and passionate, Mel Holloway senses that there is more to life than her job, or her relationship with her ailing boyfriend, can provide. The accidental death of a man she has never met changes her life irrevocably - leading her to form a complex bond with the wife of the victim, which, for Mel at least, deepens into love. A SWEETHEART DEAL is a wholly original vision of the city, its everyday joys and terrors, and the gestures of love and commitment that illuminate it all. It is Ben Richards' most ambitious achievement to date.
