Publisher's Synopsis
Death & The City: Book One and Book Two combined in a single volume - with the addition of bonus material in the form of the original feature screenplay, 'Heavy Duty' written in 1999 by the author Lisa Scullard - winner of Raindance's 'Live!Ammunition!!' movie pitchfest in London that July. When she's not under surveillance by the hit-man Deathrunner wranglers at head office, Lara spends her time juggling a night job in bar security, an only child with a zombie fixation, and what passes for a social life in the small hours in between. And then there's the matter of ongoing internal scrutiny, by her own highly self-monitoring personality disorder. Meanwhile, her new wingman, Connor, has another agenda of his own. Rather than the one Lara is concerned about, which is that head office are trying to gain some more blackmail leverage. When they're not trying to get her to recruit more Deathrunners, or to send them photographs of herself dressed as Catwoman trying on shoes... 'Heavy Duty' the 1999 movie script eventually formed a basis for the back-story of the lead character 'Lara Leatherstone' in 2008's 'Death & The City' Book One & Book Two, and was written at a time when old school private security still ran the show... So if you like your doormen to be of the original archetypes, you'll definitely find them lurking in the not-too-distant past here. This edition was previously available in eBook form only, released April 2011.
