Stone Cold

Carnegie Medal winner, 1994. This is a disturbingly topical read for teenagers, about Link, driven from his parental home, who finds himself homeless on the streets of London, and involved in the hunt for a serial killer. "...a chilling book. Even though the ending is highly moral, it is a deeply disturbing book, made more so by its topicality" >Daily Telegraph<.
