Publisher's Synopsis
In 1976, a heatwave hot enough to melt concrete punishes Scotland. While everything burns, a woman arrives in Little Denny Road with a set of keys for her new council flat. She isn't alone. Her two daughters are always by her side, except at night when they watch their mother drive off in a stranger's car. Sadie, the youngest of the two daughters, thinks nothing of this until she's asked a question at school. The answer will unleash consequences that echo through the decades. At the root of Sadie's life is a disturbing secret that must be confronted. Evil, she'll discover, is waiting seven miles south in a nice house. 'Sadie, Call The Polis' is an offbeat story about a Scottish family as seen through the eyes of the indomitable Sadie Relish, whose journey from childhood to adulthood is rendered in hilarious, crushing detail.
