"The Wish List" is a bitter yet
rip-roaringly funny tale of two wayward teenagers on the road to hell -
literally. Meg Finn is in trouble. Unearthly trouble. Cast out of her own home
by her stepfather after her mother's death, Meg is a wanderer, a troublemaker.
But after a botched attempt to rob a pensioner's flat, Meg, along with her
partner in crime, Belch Brennan, ends up in a very sticky situation. Meg's soul
is up for grabs as the divine and the demonic try every underhand ploy
imaginable to claim it. Her only chance for salvation is the Wish List. But how
can she persuade the pensioner Lowrie to help her when she has wronged him? And
even if she can persuade him, will she really have enough points to face up to
St Peter? An unforgettable and gritty tale of life, death and an unexpected
hereafter! |
