The Cherry Tree

by Bob Lockett

"A story of marital infidelity, corporate boredom, and the power of nature over common sense." That's the first sentence in this gripping, romantic thriller. Max White is fed up with his job and pretty much fed up with his life. His marriage is a shambles, his career is going nowhere and his drinking with his best friend, Carl, is beginning to worry him. The only positive thing in his world at the moment is the lovely Welsh girl, Elizabeth, who has recently come into the office, but cheating on his wife is not something that Max would ever do. Up until now, the only thing that has been keeping Max sane is his beloved 'Cherry Tree' that he can see out on the moors from where he works in the city centre. His friend Carl thinks he's losing his mind. However, Max and Elizabeth's lives do cross, and in a way that he could never have predicted. What then follows is a series of events so extreme that they are as exciting as they are terrifying. The Cherry Tree is a story that will stay with you for a long time.
