There's an economic crash. Like no other before it. And the city plunges into rioting and looting, which the authorities fail to control. Many civilians evacuate their homes in order to flee the violence. Those that do stay are plagued by mass food shortages, which only fuels the mad situation. Four characters are still there in the metropolis, a month after the crash hits. The riots have spread to where they live and they have no other choice than to escape. They come from totally different backgrounds and have never met each other; Marvin (a man), Elisa (a little girl), Anthony Burton (an old man) and Ruby-Rose (a young woman). There is no public transport, are no functioning shops, nothing for this quartet to go to for practical help. They're alone and must improvise. The other people that remain lurking in the city are abandoned and starving, and know that they can do anything without fear of reprimand from the law. A Trade of Grace is a suspense novel which explores themes of survival, kindness and the dubious nature of the innocent when faced with threat.
