{"product_id":"pest-control-and-other-stories-nick-c-roberts-9781698628677","title":"Pest Control and Other Stories","description":"Fifteen new and hard-edged stories by Nick C. Roberts. Sometimes provoking, sometimes unsettling and always unpredictable, the stories provide a mesmerising commentary on the human condition and the uncertainty that lurks at the edges of ordinary lives.In Overheard in Conversation, two bank officials fail to notice an off-the-hook phone on the desk they are gossiping at with unforeseen consequences. Bored with his unexciting lover, a man attempts the seduction of the girl he desires whilst fretting about his appearance in Miracle Cure, and in the title story, a troubled avenger employs an ingenious method to dispose of the victims he stalks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nick C.
