In this novel, Lewis Shiner weaves a tale of love and loss in the cities of the heart. Camden, New Jersey, and Detroit are the two cities that are the focus of the story.

Each city is a character in its own right, with their own secrets, desires, and tragedies. The two cities are inextricably linked, and their relationship is the heart of the novel.

The characters are all drawn from the real people and places in Shiner's life. Camden is based on Shiner's hometown of Camden, New Jersey, and Detroit is based on Detroit, Michigan.

Deserted Cities of the Heart is a love story, but it is also a story about loss and about the ways that love can be the most powerful force in the world.; 8vo; FSA.
