Perth. It's thousands of miles from anywhere, it's got a rubbish Bell Tower, and not enough of the laid-back locals are being eaten by sharks. Well, that's what expat reporter Paul Lewis thinks, but after a lonely Manic Street Preachers fan reveals her disastrously unlucky life suddenly nothing's the same... "Manic Streets of Perth" - Where a snake-wielding robber is just the start of your troubles. Gentler and warmer than Dave Franklin's other novels, "Manic Streets" is an easy to read comedy.
