It's been nine months since Pippa - their mother - suddenly died, and they've been unsettled ever since, so Alfie assumes they've probably had a nightmare. Still, he goes to check to reassure the girls. As expected, he finds no man, but in the following days, the girls begin to refer to someone called Black Mamba. What seemingly begins as an imaginary friend quickly develops into something darker, more obsessive, potentially violent. Alfie finds himself struggling to cope, and so he turns to Julia - Pippa's twin and a psychotherapist - for help. But as Black Mamba's coils tighten around the girls, Alfie and Julia must contend with their own unspoken sense of loss, their unacknowledged attraction to one another, and the true character of the presence poisoning the twins' minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 224g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 128 x 198 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781838956608\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: Main\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WilliamFriend","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44324612538618,"sku":"9781838956608","price":7.13,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688726218672_book.jpg?v=1688790401","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/black-mamba-9781838956608","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
