The Devil's Staircase by Helen Fitzgerald

The Devil's Staircase by Helen Fitzgerald

Bronny, a young Australian, finds herself down and out in London. She's a sweet girl who has spent her teenage years in a fearful, cautious bubble. She's never taken drugs, had sex or killed anyone. Within six weeks she's done all three.

'Thinking woman's noir' 

* The Daily Telegraph *

'As elegant and witty as it is disturbing' 'Lovely, sparse, elegant writing, highly original plot and ever- building tension make this book irresistible.There's sex and drugs and rock-and-roll, a whiff of true evil and a scream-out loud finale. Wow!' 

* Australian Women's Weekly *

'Accomplished and gloriously black comedy'

-- Allan Guthrie
