Book Launch | With The Safety Off by Graeme Feltham

David Krut Bookstore is pleased to present:

Dye Hard Press in collaboration with Altoviolet as they launch With The Safety Off, a novel by Graeme Feltham.

Join us at THE BLUE HOUSE, 151 Jan Smuts Avenue, Parkwood, on Wednesday 27 November from 6 for 6.30 p.m., as we collaborate with Dye Hard Press in celebrating the life of the late Graeme Feltham by launching his book With the Safety Off.

About the novel:

It’s Yeoville in the mid-1990s. Enter Fig, a copywriter with a penchant for living on the edge – staying up all night, having casual sex and snorting cocaine. Drifting from seedy clubs to grotty flats, Fig continues his aimless odyssey… until the day he falls asleep in a client presentation and is fired.

Nine months later Fig is hooked on heroin and turns to drug-dealing for survival. If his previous lifestyle skirted close to the danger zone, it’s now gloves off as he drops all pretense of respectability and descends into a world of syndicates and violence. From now on, he’s living with the safety off. A novel not for the faint-hearted…

With introductions by Graeme’s son, Luke Feltham and artist and friend, James de Villiers. 220 pp.
