About the Author:
Jack claimed that he could 'see the wires', and that he and Sam murdered five people when they were younger. But surely Jack was lying. Wasn't he?
Sam never thought that much went on in Dudley, spiritual home of the tea towel, but he was wrong. For beneath Dudley's grey exterior there lurked a Brummie heart of darkness all its own. Soon he would find himself drawn out of a cozy life digging trenches on a building site and drinking in establishments that were a homage to health-risk and into a half-world of family secrets, occult messages and ritual sacrifice.
Seeing wires is an unsettling, blackly funny tale of life and death in the slow lane, which launches a truly original new talent onto an unsuspecting public.
All his life, Patrick Thompson has been inspired by the rolling landscape of tarmac, low-rise concrete slabs and bread queues that is Dudley. He has written for as long as he can remember. Seeing the Wires is his first published novel.
