Close

by Mike Avalon

Hearts are broken, friendships are tested, and as the body count rises, everyone questions who Ralf really is, and while he battles to protect those he loves, he finds himself in a bloody fight for survival as his enemies are close and stalk him from the shadows. They want his history book, given to him by an old friend and it's filled with cryptic clues to unravel an unknown mystery, but they will kill for it and it doesn't matter who stands in their way. It's the electric eighties in suburban London and all's well with Ralf the school teacher, Pete the computer tech, and Ozzie, the foul-mouthed rocker with a hot temper and a big heart. They enjoy life to the full, with cool girlfriends, token cars, and the timeless music that defined everyone and everything. But all good things come to an end – Pete's entire world comes crumbling down upon him, Ozzie follows a path that can only lead to disaster, and Ralf's dark past comes back to haunt him, placing everyone's life in terrible danger. Back then, Ralf was someone else. Today he's a different man. Tomorrow, he'll be everyone's worst nightmare.
