Killer Next Door (ePub)

It is not only a horrible detective fiction but also a charming human nature exploration. Under the horrible narration, there is a story about love and friendship. We think that death is far away; in fact it happens at every moment even around us. The water we drink and the air we breathe may have the breath of the dead. Do you really understand your neighbor? Colette has to travel around the world to escape murder because he witnessed the crime scene. He returns to his homeland England taking risks to take part in his mother's funeral. He settles in a gloomy and broken sublet apartment in London. He takes over the room left by the previous tenant. It seems that everything here has a smell of decay and death. It is a place which you have to live in when you have no alternative. And every tenant has own secret: the youngest Cher has no job but she is always able to get luxurious articles; the refugee Hussein from Iran is still crazy about political activities; the civil servant Thomas is friendly but wordy; the music teacher Gerald is homebound and always playing classical music; and the old Vesta was born here and is likely to die here, he want to leave here but has no courage... The alienated neighbors are forced to be accomplices for a terrible accident on a hot summer evening. They would think that they needed only to hide one crime, but they do not know the antsy horrors are coming...
