Brassed Off

by Mark Herman, Paul Allen

Years ago, Tom had an affair with Catherine who became pregnant and had an abortion - or so he thinks. Now he is married to Vic and their relationship is on the rocks because she cannot conceive and Tom is desperate to be a father. Enter Smokey, a nineteen-year-old tearaway whose girlfriend is none other than Catherine's and Tom's daughter Belinda. Tom's wish to be a father is fulfilled, but remember the saying: be careful what you wish for - you might just get it. Tom's past catches up with him in a terrifying sequence of events involving deception, plots and murder. Then a final tragic twist saturates his life with the bitterest irony. Fast-moving, bloody and savage, this modern thriller from the author of Killing Time will keep audiences on the edges of their seats as the mystery deepens and the body-count multiplies...
