Anna has just moved from the bright lights of Manchester to live with her mother and new step-father in a small village. It seems that there is nothing to do there, and the neighbours all complain about the pink Chevrolet up on bricks outside the house.
But there is a new family at Sneck Cottage – and the boy, Wolf, is a mystery as he is so rarely sighted. Anna is intrigued, and ready to be friends, however illicitly, but her acquaintances in the village respond in a much more reactionary fashion, and his fate is sealed when they discover that he was accused of rape in his last home.
Should he stay and face down his accusers? Should Anna really be making friends with him? How can Wolf rejoin society that is rejecting him so utterly?

Ellie lives in a very rough part of Boltby, an industrial town in the North West of England, and she often feels that she is the only sensible member of her family. Her mother is always on the tiles, her older brother is more absent than present, and her younger brother has Down's Syndrome: they all need looking after one way or another. But the bright spot in her life is the little antique writing desk that comes into her mother's 'Antique' Shop, which by its very existence encourages her to write. Unfortunately she has really got a lot to write about, what with drive-by racists haunting their street, BNP stickering, and Asian lads fed up with being victimised. As she becomes intrigued by the refugee story of her Jewish neighbour, who escaped from Germany after Kristallnacht, Ellie is herself unwittingly diarising the build up to race riots and widespread mayhem.
