    About this ebook

    Out of university and out of luck, Ben Hamilton moves back in with his parents to stack shelves at the local supermarket. There he meets a group of friends and quickly finds himself dragged into secrecy, heavy drinking, and a violent feud. Trouble flares as the boys test the limits of their own behaviour, small-town mentalities and childhood dreams, before a startling climax as some innocent flirting leads to something much darker. Shop Front is more than the story of an unlucky graduate struggling to find his way: it is a story of violence, working life, friendship and A&E

      I RECENTLY spotted one of our journalists vaping and was surprised. “I didn’t know you smoke,” I told her. “I don’t!” she replied. “It’s just vaping.” I thought about that exchange as I read our story about the dangers of vaping on page 40. The rise
