Opis

"Chilling and frightfully relevant. A remarkable debut." Adam Millard, author of DEAD CELLS and SKINNERS When a black youth dies under suspicious circumstances in police custody, and they refuse to release his body, rioting erupts, running the length of the country, copycat behaviour occurring in nearly every major city. From London to Manchester, shops are looted; businesses burnt down to the ground, feral anarchy claiming the streets. Decent, hard-working people are forced out of their homes as tens of thousands of people take to the streets, outnumbering the police, rendering them powerless, the underprivileged majority sick of having no job, no hope, no future. Ethan Hardcastle knows about these senseless riots. Like millions of others, he has been glued to the TV, watching the news, but it's not his problem. There's nothing he can do about it. However, soon the security of living away from the pulsating heart of the city is fundamentally tested when the sound of the dining room window shattering fills him with horror: the looters are inside his home. "National Emergency is a terrifying, blow-by-blow account of one family's descent into Hell. Unforgettable." Jeremy Peterson, author of A Devil in God's Country
