In 1976, a heatwave hot enough to melt concrete punishes Scotland. While everything burns, a woman arrives in Little Denny Road with a set of keys for her new council flat. She isn't alone. Her two daughters are always by her side, except at night when they watch their mother drive off in a stranger's car. Sadie, the youngest of the two daughters, thinks nothing of this until she's asked a question at school. The answer will unleash consequences that echo through the decades. At the root of Sadie's life is a disturbing secret that must be confronted. Evil, she'll discover, is waiting seven miles south in a nice house... Sadie, Call The Polis is an offbeat story about a Scottish family as seen through the eyes of the indomitable Sadie Relish, whose journey from childhood to adulthood is rendered in hilarious, crushing detail. Her disastrous first date, the late nights at the bus stop with a bottle or two, running away from home, the many hangovers, her first and last job, grief, Covid, and all the drama and darkness squeezed in between.
