Marked for Life
by Paul Magrs
Welcome to Phoenix Court! It’s a weird mix of people round here on this housing scheme, but everyone’s reasonably friendly. Everyone’s got their secrets, though, and sometimes there’s magic waiting just around the corner…
Meet: Mark Kelly – a man tattooed with glorious designs over every inch of his body. He’s married to the slightly unhinged Sam and has a young daughter who’s about to be kidnapped at Christmas by an escaped convict and old flame of our hero’s. Over one snowy festive season the whole family sets off in perilous pursuit… accompanied by Sam’s mother, who’s become a nudist lesbian and her girlfriend, who claims to be a time-transcending novelist known as Iris Wildthyme…
Paul Magrs's first novel, Marked for Life, returns to print with a new introduction by the author, alongside the other titles in the Phoenix Court trilogy, Does It Show? and Could It Be Magic, as well as the 'lost' never-before-published novel Fancy Man.
