The front doors of Anguish Street hide the seven detestable things spoken of in the Book of Proverbs - ‘haughty eyes, a lying tongue and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet breathes out lies and one who sows discord among brothers.’ This tale of residents of an old street in a coastal town is the second novel from David Porter, one time drama teacher, exam assessor and MP. It sees the fall of old-fashioned, ageing assassin Jerry Fletcher and the dawn of a new era under his recently found 17-year daughter, Spice. His revenge novel Old Men’s Dreams (2015) and two short story compilations, Wild Beasts and Plague (2018) and Scoffers Will Come (2019) are available in paperback and Kindle versions.
