The Bitterest Pill

by Mike Forsyth

For Robert Johnson, a life that had stagnated is offered an opportunity to be reawakened thanks to a sudden and unexpected reminder of his past. What prospects lie in store for him are revealed in a suspense-filled journey from his existence in South London to a remote manor house on the West Coast of Scotland where no one can be trusted. This debut novel offers murder, mystery, intrigue and romance across three decades, from pre Great War Britain to the growing tensions of the mid 1930s, via the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Will Robert finally have the opportunity to exorcise his demons or will he be forced to swallow the bitterest pill?
