Produktbeschreibung

Hannah Meadows, a kindly old lady with a fondness for hats, is angry with her clever and manipulative grandson, Billy, whose gang attacked her sister Jessie's garden. Seeing how Billy's behaviour threatens to destroy his family - his sisters fear him and his father has lost patience with him, while his mother believes he is an innocent victim - Hannah knows she must take action. She feels responsible for Billy because of her own guilty secret. Years ago she was raped by Jessie's unscrupulous husband, Rupert, and she suspects Billy has inherited his grandfather's malevolent nature. She fears for the safety of her granddaughters, Helen and Veronica, as well as for her elderly neighbours, many of whom are too nervous to go out.Jessie is now a recluse and won't even open the door to her. Hannah is tempted to join the 'silver bees', a group of elderly people who are fighting back against crime and vandalism in their neighbourhoods, mainly by turning themselves into walking booby traps. 'If we can't save ourselves from attack', they say, 'then at least the criminals won't escape either!' As her past comes back to haunt her, she wrestles with her conscience. She hates violence of any kind, but how can she protect her family, if she is not prepared to act? Then there is Hannah's young artist neighbour, Declan, who sees her comings and goings from his attic window, and who is desperately in love with Billy's sister, Veronica.
