About the book
The Elephant Tree is the 2010 debut novel by British crime and transgressive fiction author R.D. Ronald. Set in the fictional city of Garden Heights, the novel follows Scott, a 24-year-old working for his brother while running a small-scale drug dealing operation; Angela, 23, whose father, a career criminal, supplies Scott with cannabis; and Mark Fallon, a detective investigating a spate of attacks on high-profile city-centre nightclubs. Set over a few months, the story interweaves present events with past revelations, leading to a climax in which trust between the characters collapses. Published by Troubador Publishing Ltd, Leicestershire.
