Puppet Master: His game, his rules, your doom

Unfinished Business #11

by Heather Atkinson

Brodie MacBride, private investigator nicknamed the Guardian of Glasgow by the local journalists, is finally part of a happy family. He and his wife Cass are delighted with their baby son, Will. However, Brodie soon finds himself separated from them when the demented writer, Richard Peters, creates one of his real life 'scripts' just for him, tearing Brodie's life apart. Not even his old friends in the Glaswegian police force can help Brodie when he is framed for murder and forced to go on the run.

With the puppet master pulling everyone's strings, is this the end of the road for the Guardian of Glasgow?

Author of over seventy books so far. Living on the beautiful west coast of Scotland with my husband, twin daughters and a cat called Mavis, although I am originally from Lancashire in the north of England.

My tastes in all things are eclectic, which extends to my writing. Although I primarily write crime books - especially gangland thrillers - I also write gothic historical romance and fantasy. I publish on Amazon Kindle and some of my novels are available in paperback too. I also have a traditional publishing contract with Boldwood Books.

When I'm not writing - which isn't very often - I enjoy reading Daphne Du Maurier, Edgar Allan Poe, Shirley Jackson, MR James and the Brontes, among many others. I also enjoy swimming, walking and spending time with my family.
