A gang is hunting for a child who has been drawn into crime with tragic results; there is a riot outside the church where asylum seekers have been sleeping, and many cities have descended into fierce protests.   Inside the Literary Cafe, a group of writers, bakers and shopkeepers are sheltering. Their petty feuds and past quarrels must be forgotten if they are to survive a gang armed with knives and a gun.   Over a few hours, the divisions between high and low, old and new, haves and have-nots are thrown into violent contrast. Are they going to try to save themselves, or each other?","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586911600928,"sku":"9781408714706","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/high-and-low-amanda-craig-9781408714706","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
