Roberts. Sometimes provoking, sometimes unsettling and always unpredictable, the stories provide a mesmerising commentary on the human condition and the uncertainty that lurks at the edges of ordinary lives.In Overheard in Conversation, two bank officials fail to notice an off-the-hook phone on the desk they are gossiping at with unforeseen consequences. Bored with his unexciting lover, a man attempts the seduction of the girl he desires whilst fretting about his appearance in Miracle Cure, and in the title story, a troubled avenger employs an ingenious method to dispose of the victims he stalks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45540692557975,"sku":"9781698628677","price":704.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781698628677.webp?v=1767904598","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pest-control-and-other-stories-9781698628677","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
