RAZORHURST
A stunningly written, stand-alone YA crime novel.
The setting: 1932 Razorhurst—a world where guns have been banned and “razor men” rule the streets with their blades, their scars a badge of brute and bravery.
The fragile peace between two competing mob bosses—Gloriana Nelson and Mr Davidson—is crumbling. Loyalties are shifting. Betrayals threaten. Kelpie knows the dangers of the Sydney streets. Ghosts have kept her alive, steering her to food and safety, but they are also her torment. Dymphna is Gloriana Nelson’s ‘best girl’, experienced in surviving the criminal world, but she doesn’t know what this day has in store for her.
When Dymphna meets Kelpie over the corpse of Jimmy Palmer, Dymphna’s latest boyfriend, she pronounces herself Kelpie’s new protector. But Dymphna’s life is in danger too, and she needs an ally. And while Jimmy’s ghost wants to help, the dead cannot protect the living ...
Brilliantly unfolding through Kelpie's and Dymphna's alternating points of view over the course of one single, extraordinary day, RAZORHURST draws readers into its dark, deadly world and shocks, surprises, and stirs us in the most unexpected ways.
Justine Larbalestier is the author of LIAR, the MAGIC OR MADNESS trilogy, and HOW TO DITCH YOUR FAIRY, and the editor of ZOMBIES VS. UNICORNS. She was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and she and her husband, Scott Westerfeld, now split their time between Sydney and New York City.
