About this ebook

Divorced after discovering his beautiful wife in bed with his boss, acknowledged to be a mediocre accountant, Brendan Martin's grey flannel life seems set on a course to frustration and failure.Then comes an unexpected reunion.
What has happened to Sarah? Can the dejected figure he discovers sitting in the rain be the same vibrant red-headed girl he knew at university? Finding out involves a sleigh-ride of sexual temptation, excitement and danger. Suddenly Brendan is a target for mobsters and the subject of close attention from the police. Apparently he has something, or knows something, everyone wants; but what?

Frederick Anderson

An only child who grew up in the country, I had little to do but read. I wrote my first story when I was nine, about a monster that lived in the hills behind my home. It scared me so much I hid the pages under my bed at night and still had nightmares about it! An embryo stage career, nipped in the bud by an injudicious marriage (fortunately for the theatre, I think) and a lifetime of jobs that haven't really meant anything in themselves, but which afford me a rich font of characters. I hope they will leap from the page for you as they do for me! This year I was short-listed for the Aeon Short Fiction Prize.
