A Horse Racing Fiction with an Irish Connection
When novelist Mark Brayfeld inadvertently threatens to expose corruption in the horse racing world, a London financier hires ruthless minions from Ireland to ensure Mark’s next book on horse racing is suppressed at all cost.
Expat Living in France and a French Life
Unaware of the pursuit, Mark coincidentally has decided to leave London, sever a long-standing relationship with his girlfriend, and savour the delights of French life as a writer living in the South of France, every expat's dream. But leaving behind a woman scorned is rarely wise. His ex-partner soon becomes embroiled in the quest to ensure Mark’s silence, unaware of the ruthless nature of her new Irish friends. Expat living in France beckons, with eye-opening consequences for both as this mystery novel unfolds. French life soon turns out to be a lot more exciting than Mark anticipated, but for all the wrong reasons.
Irish Criminals In France
An Irish crime fraternity set on silencing him before he can publish his next book, and already irritated by the fact they missed him by only hours in London, pursue Mark on his journey to the South of France where he plans to start his new life. Their plans for Mark are completely different and their criminal intentions could well mean no life at all for our hero, if that is what it will take to ensure his silence.
A Murder Mystery
Once Mark arrives in his about to be restored home in France, close to Carcassonne, the tranquillity he was looking forward to is shattered. Mark, together with long-established expats he meets in a rural village bar, are thrown into an alien world where violence and crime are commonplace. A murder mystery brings everything to a head, and matters deteriorate rapidly as a high-ranking officer of the gendarmerie vows to uncover the truth. And that’s when the affair takes even more extraordinary turns. New relationships for old may be the answer!
