But then it follows them back to town, and strange things begin to happen. A tree falls down, and a house catches fire. Each time something bad happens, the cat is there—watching, with its strange green eyes. And it won’t go away. Adam and his friends don’t know what to do. Especially when the fearsome feline begins to use its powers on them!

A sense of adventure could lead you down the wrong road . . . On a mission to transform her predictable life into something adventurous, newly divorced Kate leaves the grey damp of northern England for the colour and excitement of Nepal. In Kathmandu she meets Chandra, a charismatic young man, and embarks on a relationship that crosses cultural boundaries. Bowled over by his attention, Kate is transformed by the idea that someone like Chandra could find her desirable. As Chandra pursues her on her return to England, Kate becomes preoccupied by his vision of a life together. She returns to Nepal, where it becomes increasingly difficult to understand her place in his world. And when reality tracks her down, Kate faces decisions over how much she is willing to give and whether the cost of maintaining such a relationship can ever be worth it. Because Chandra’s version of the future could be very different from Kate’s. With its themes of vulnerability, obsession and manipulation, The Wicked Game examines how easily we can be led over the line into an alternative version of reality.
