He’s found a life worth killing for<\/i><\/p>\n
Edward is struggling to hold it together. Just about getting by in a world he cannot afford, scurrying after his friends, doing everything he can to prove his value. But not to worry: the attention of his beloved Stanza and the respite he finds in her ancestral home, Kellerby House, provide all the reward he needs.<\/p>\n
Until he realises that Stanza is in love with his best friend Robert, forcing Edward to re-evaluate what those closest to him are actually worth. No price is too high to stop the life he has strived for slipping from his grip. Especially when he won’t be the one paying.<\/p>\n

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING . . .<\/b><\/p>\n
‘I loved The Kellerby Code<\/i>. The toxic friend group our lower class protagonist bends over backwards to fit into, the growing resentment of the effortless wealth and success and the inevitable tipping point.’<\/b><\/p>\n
‘This is one of those books that get more absorbing and utterly bizarre as it goes, you absolutely have to read it.’<\/b>
‘Immensely enjoyable . . . A wild roller coaster ride with plenty of cringeworthy and laugh out loud moments.’ <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Edward is living in a world he can’t afford and to which he doesn’t belong. To camouflage himself, he has catered to his friends’ needs: fetching drycleaning, sorting flowers for premieres. It’s a noble effort, really – anything to keep his best pals Robert and Stanza happy. In return, his proximity to them might sponge the shame of his birth and violent past cleanly away. But the chink in his armour is his painfully unrequited love for Stanza. When he realises Stanza and Robert are an item, Edward is pushed too far. His little acts of kindness take a sinister turn, giving way to the unspeakable brutality Edward fears is at his core. Are there limits to what he will do for his friends? Are there limits to what he will do to them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[406],"product_tag":[26816,26896],"class_list":["post-108980","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-crime-thrillers","product_tag-crime-mystery-fiction","product_tag-fiction-general-literary","pa_book_author-sweet-jonny","pa_cover-paperback","pa_dewey-823-92-edition23","pa_edition-1st-paperback-ed","pa_imprint-faber-faber","pa_language-english","pa_pages-9174","pa_publisher-faber-faber","pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
