A Kind of Puritan by Penny Deacon

A Kind of Puritan

Penny Deacon

Kinsey Milhone meets Brave New World in a future-thriller set in 2050, a time when the ruling 'Families' expect to get away with murder. The first in a series with a great heroine called, inappropriately enough, Humility.

Extract
The girl looked at me as though I'd conjured the cab out of thin air. The driver looked at her with a hint of scorn, recognising a streetkid. I didn't care because we were behind steel doors and speeding towards home and the man with the knife was far behind.
