Description

'The safest place for a wolf pup is inside its mother's mouth.'

Gee Valentine's life is the pits.

Abandoned at birth and raised in a care home, he's learnt how to survive the hard way. When he secretly escapes the care system, fate intervenes, and he's befriended by the mysterious owner of a Blackpool magic shop who teaches him the art of sleight of hand magic. Fast-forward a few months and the pair begin to trust each other. For the first time in his 15 years, Gee actually feels part of a family, and he meets the girl of his dreams.

But once again his happiness is snatched away.

After a few violent scrapes with the local Pleasure Beach meatheads, Gee starts getting into trouble. And when he is entangled in the murder of five stage magicians, he flees Blackpool in the dead of night. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery to Italy in his 1967 VW Campervan. In an emotional search for his parents, he encounters friendship, betrayal, love and death.

Is everyone out to destroy him?

Is he a pawn in a revengeful game of Whodunnit?

Is he destined to always be a lone wolf?

In bocca al lupo... into the Wolf's mouth.
