Manchester, 2025. Local mechanic Sol steals old vehicles to meet the demand for spares. But when Sol’s partner impulsively jacks a luxury model, Sol finds himself caught up in a nightmarish trans-dimensional human trafficking conspiracy. Hidden in the stolen car is a voiceless, three-armed woman called Y. She’s had her memory removed and undertaken a harrowing journey into a world she only vaguely recognises. And someone waiting in the UK expects her delivery at all costs. Now Sol and Y are on the run from both Y’s traffickers and the organisation’s faithful products. With the help of a dangerous triggerman and Sol’s ex, they must uncover the true, terrifying extent of the trafficking operation, or it’s all over. Not that there was much hope to start with. A novel about the horror of exploitation and the weight of love, Graft imagines a country in which too many people are only worth what’s on their price tag.

In 2018, Manchester is a rotten city propped up by a few bad men. The first industrial city is dying - its people left to fend for themselves. Now, the only currency is trust and Brian Meredith - addict, depressive, wheelchair-bound - has new trouble with old problems. It doesn't help that Brian is a mermaid. Born with sirenomelia to Jehovah's Witnesses, his legs are fused from thigh to foot. His mother brought him up as a myth - hiding the truth, or otherwise helping him to repress it. And in this decaying city, where grey morals match grey skies, Brian's condition is something both friends and enemies will use. Sitting somewhere between literary fiction, crime and sci-fi, it's an exhilarating, challenging and wildly daring debut novel that addresses the fears of now through an idea of tomorrow. The Folded Man was given second place in the fiercely competitive Dundee International Book Prize by judges Stephen Fry and Philip Pullman. ""Hill's frightening dystopian vision of Britain's near future. . . Some combination of Raymond Chandler, Trainspotting, and Philip K. Dick, Hill's unsettling novel is not an escapist fantasy, but rather a call to arms, a plea to change the future.""--Publishers Weekly, Aug. 26, 2013
