Abandoned Scenes blends the ancient history of cats with a contemporary tale of how the Catanostra (the cat mafia) was brought down by Marmalade and friends, in a story borrowed from Hollywood and set in the North-East of England. Eighteen voices reveal a hitherto unknown feline counter-culture involving catnip, a would-be superhero, the governing council and moggy villians. (Imagine if Quentin Tarantino & Guy Ritchie were to write an action-comedy involving cats and you will get some idea of what this tale is about.)

ALICE FEENEYS NEW YORK TIMES AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER “Boldly plotted, tightly knotted—a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvelous.” —AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window My name is Amber Reynolds. There are three things you should know about me: 1. I’m in a coma. 2. My husband doesn’t love me anymore. 3. Sometimes I lie. Amber wakes up in a hospital. She can’t move. She can’t speak. She can’t open her eyes. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it's the truth?
