A modern-day Looking for Mr Goodbar
-- Fay Weldon
Polly, 28, lives in London with her 'perfect-on-paper' boyfriend. She works a dead end job on a free London paper... life as she knows it is dull. But her banal existence is turned upside down late one drunken night on her way home, after a chance encounter with a man on a packed tube train. The chemistry between them is electric and on impulse, they kiss, giving in to their carnal desires. But it's over in an instant, and Polly is left shell-shocked as he walks away without even telling her his name.
Now obsessed with this beautiful stranger, Polly begins a frantic online search, and finally discovers more about tubing , an underground phenomenon in which total strangers set up illicit meetings on busy commuter tube trains. In the process, she manages to track him down and he slowly lures her into his murky world.
At first she thinks she can keep it separate from the rest of her life, but things soon spiral out of control.
By chance she spots him on a packed tube train with a young, pretty blonde. Seething with jealousy, she watches them together. But something isn't right and a horrific turn of events make Polly realise not only how foolish she has been, but how much danger she is in...
Can she get out before it's too late?
'A taut, sinister, explicit, shocking tale that kept me absolutely riveted. Its a great debut for McKeagney, and with that kind of imagination, I'm a little scared but extremely excited to read what she comes up with next.' whatsbetterthanbooks.com
'If you are looking for something a little different then look no further! Tubing is an intelligent, original and astute thriller with a seductive storyline . . . Highly recommended' mychestnutreadingtree.com
'Will definitely appeal to thriller fans that are looking for something fresh' bookosallkinds.com
'This book definitely wowed and surprised me. this is a brilliant, intriguing novel. . . had me gripped to the pages right to the end.' whisperingstories.com
'I read this novel in two sittings and from the first page to the last I was utterly engrossed. The imagery is fantastic, taking you deep down into the often cramped and oppressive feel of the underground. It had a scintillating and heady mix of eroticism and danger that was brilliantly thrilling.' mybookishblogspot.com
