Bloomsbury presents Dead Straight Line by Malcolm Duffy, read by George Bray.

Two unlikely worlds collide as prize-winning Malcolm Duffy explores the life-changing repercussions of a single action in a game gone wrong.

Sixteen-year-old Rory is a rule-breaker, a risk taker, a maverick. As a kick he comes up with a game called Dead Straight Line. The idea is simple – wherever you happen to be, you’ve got to get home in a dead straight line. Across the back gardens of stranger’s houses, locked parks, trespassing on private property – whatever it takes.

One day, Rory pressures his friend Eliot into playing, resulting in a serious accident. Shunned by friends and facing pressure from his furious parents, Rory becomes even more angry and disruptive. When his school suggests helping out a care home, he’s unimpressed. But paired up with Tanker, an eighty-year-old Geordie military veteran, who fought in the Falklands War, things slowly begin to change.

From seeking thrills to finding friends, choosing the right path in life is never a dead straight line. But there is always a way.©2026 Malcolm Duffy (P)2026 Bloomsbury

Kritikerstimmen

Razor sharp, fast moving, and impossible to put down... This is Malcolm Duffy at the top of his game.
'An] empathetic, powerful, important novel for young men, one that should not be missed.
I'm a sucker for a funny narrator dealing with bleak stuff! Laughed loads and cried for two whole chapters.
The best YA novel I have read in the past 10 years.
[A] Compelling novel for today's teens about taking risks, peer pressure and paying for our mistakes.
