ZERO DISTRICT — Book Trailer

About the book and trailer

Julian’s fingers find a hiding place he cannot remember. A recorder in an old letterbox plays his voice, speaking in a conversation he has forgotten. Across the bridge, seventeen addresses have officially been declared vacant. People still live there. A clinic treats patients; a sealed tailor’s shop remains part of somebody’s life.

Mara has kept the bills and receipts. Then Julian recognises his own words in a report: he declared the last home evacuated without going inside. An approaching clearance order gives that old sentence an immediate human cost. Challenging the document means acknowledging his part in writing it.
