When there is no choice, all you have left to do is walk. <br/> <br/>Kiara Johnson does not know what it is to live as a normal seventeen-year-old. With her mother in a rehab facility and an older brother who devotes his time and money to a recording studio, she fends for herself - and for nine-year-old Trevor, whose own mother is prone to disappearing for days at a time. As the landlord of their apartment block threatens to raise their rent, Kiara finds herself walking the streets after dark, determined to survive in a world that refuses to protect her. <br/> <br/>Then one night Kiara is picked up by two police officers, and the gruesome deal she is offered in exchange for her freedom lands her at the centre of a media storm. If she agrees to testify in a grand jury trial, she could help expose the sickening corruption of a police department. But honesty comes at a price - one that could leave her family vulnerable to their retaliation, and endanger everyone she loves. <br/> <br/>Nightcrawling is an unforgettable novel about young people navigating the darkest corners of an adult world, told with a humanity that is at once agonising and utterly mesmerising. <br/> <br/>-------------------------------------- <br/> <br/>READERS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF NIGHTCRAWLING <br/> <br/>'Nightcrawling is a lyrical masterpiece' ***** <br/> <br/>'This book ripped my heart out' ***** <br/> <br/>'Unputdownable . . .
