About this ebook

The novel ( 100,000 words) is in 4 parts and follows the life of Sue Parker a Police Officer in the Avon and Somerset Police force as she attempts to get to grips with crime and her own personal love life that usually seems to come out second best as work takes priority.

Part 1, (Title above) begins and ends in Bath but takes many twists and turns along the way, usually following the reminiscences of a suspect. Africa features but so do Tokyo, Munich and Washington over decades. Questions of conscience arise in different scenarios. Sue is a PC.

Part 2 is called Croquet at Chateau Chevalier and sees Sue embroiled in a murder at a Management Motivational weekend in a country hotel run by a company called Muck&Brass, a term that alludes to their penchant for outdoor trials, such as Quad Bikes. There are so many suspects, but here the onus is on lack of conscience as people make their decisions. Sue has been moved up to Sergeant.

Part 3 is Troublesome Talk at River Walk and is set in Frome, a small town near Bath where Sue has been promoted to Inspector. It begins with the suspicious death of an old lady and goes on to explore her background in the Spanish Civil War, and in the Resistance in World War Two. This story highlights the dilemma that is faced by individuals, when competing definitions of right and wrong clash.

Part 4 is Flotsam and Jetsum Sue is retired but gets involved on holiday when a body on a beach near
Portsmouth leads her into a dangerous International Conspiracy in the Baltic Sea and beyond, even into Russia itself. An absence of guilt once more leads Sue to identify her suspect, but she also finds Silver Linings in her love life again.

Author

Alwyn Dow

Alwyn Dow is a much travelled and experienced author with three previous publications to his name. He says that his books, including this one, are a mixture of fact and fiction and therefore, works of ‘faction’, a term coined by Truman Capote. He adds that his underlying themes always include individuals faced with moral dilemmas in the circumstances in which they find themselves. The Dawn Birds takes some inspiration from The Thorn Birds, but is set in Africa.
