Sinister

by Alex Brightsmith

Kathryn Blake, injured in her attempt to contact her embedded colleague Daniel Thwaite, seems only to have added to his problems, and he finds less reassurance than perhaps he should in her reminder that she is more sinister than she looks . . .
Alex Brightsmith’s summer giveaway catches up with Daniel Thwaite on his first job since Vienna, and finds him in more trouble than he expected. He has been reunited with Kathryn Blake, but she has come, uncharacteristically, to grief, and Thwaite, always better under pressure than he believes, must carry the day himself, unless there is any substance at all in the one puzzling reassurance that she offers him.

About the author

Alex Brightsmith was born and raised in Bedfordshire and defies anyone who was not to point it out on a map. Bedfordshire has been claimed (or rejected) by at least five bordering regions, and its lasting legacies have been a resistance to categorisation and a fondness for sprouts.*

Alex reads indiscriminately and loves, as a bare sampling, Charteris, Chandler, Chesterton, Christie & la Carre.

Alex currently lives in Birmingham, commutes reluctantly, gardens and bakes erratically, and writes thrillers, fantasy and flash fiction.

Alex's two published novels, Viennese Waltz and Find the Lady, are thrillers featuring the pickpocket, cat burglar, and potential government employee Kathryn Blake.

*You’ll know you’re in Bedfordshire when you can smell the sprouts; you’ll know your companion is a local if they can’t.
