Dont judge a book by its cover, or a bag lady by her appearance. I didnt always look like this, she says. Being barmy doesnt mean Im stupid.
Lady Bag does have her problems her close relationship with cheap red wine, for example. When she gets hammered she talks to her dog. When shes extra-hammered her dog talks to her. Guess who makes better sense.
She and her rescue greyhound, Electra, wander through the streets of London, seeing a Dickensian side of the capital city thats visible only to the homeless. Together they accept the kindness and unkindness of strangers with the same wry patience. Until, on one dreadful day, they meet the Devil outside the National Portrait Gallery

Nick Johnstone, uncutAbout Ballad of a Dead Nobody
I was gripped [told] beautifully, touchingly, sometimes brutally
Peter Lovesey
Adventurous in form, sparklingly written and with every page more gripping than the last, this bluesy novel may well be the already garlanded Codys best yet.
Mat Coward, Morning StarAbout Miss Terry
Compelling warm and amusing, written with the characteristic Cody honesty a terrific read.
