After the Act
I’m not a promiscuous man, and in the seven years of marriage to Harriet I had hardly so much as glanced elsewhere. Certainly I had no straying fancies in Paris.
Be prepared for a bumpy ride through this tense psychological thriller. All seems quite straightforward to start with. A young playwright has just burst through the success barrier, greatly, almost suffocatingly, supported by his wealthy, somewhat frail wife. He is making money, gathering fans and life is good. On a whim he embarks on a passionate affair with a younger woman, and soon decides to spend the rest of his life with her. A civilised divorce, painful for his wife, but survivable will be the solution….
Angell, Pearl and Little God
Pearl Friedell is beautiful, and with that beauty comes problems. On one hand, William Angell is a self-indulgent solicitor and lover of beautiful things. On the other, Little God is an ambitious boxer with a vicious reputation. He wants Pearl for himself, no matter what the cost.
Greek Fire
When Gene Vanbrugh discovers that a proposed business associate has been murdered he sets out to uncover the truth. His path crosses with that of Anya Stonaris, the beautiful but aloof mistress to a politician with a decidedly murky past, and their meeting acts as a catalyst to a dangerous political adventure. As the relationship between Gene and Anya grows, so does the realization that there is much more to lose than either thought possible.
Night Without Stars
Half-blinded in the war, Giles Gordon has moved to the French Riviera and fallen in love with Alix, the widow of a French resistance hero. This leads him into a year of violence and murder, but he has the courage of cope with these dangers.
The Sleeping Partner
There are many questions in Winston Graham’s The Sleeping Partner. Why has Lynn Granville left her husband Michael? Because he is never at home? Because at work Michael has an extremely attractive new assistant whose marriage has its own problems? Or because she herself has created a new life that does not involve him. And why are the police taking such a criminal view on what surely must be a domestic case . . . ?
The Tumbled House
Attack on a dead man . . .
The vicious attack on the late Sir John Marlowe Q.C. in The Sunday Gazette is unsigned. Don Marlowe, his son – a prominent young conductor – is determined to discover the identity of the journalist. He succeeds, and precipitates a gruelling court action. But ironically it is Don who stands accused. And in defending himself and his father’s name, he finds he is destroying his marriage to Joanna – the beautiful and wayward young actress . . .
The Ugly Sister
One side of Emma Spry’s face was marred during birth, her father was killed in a duel, and her mother’s ambitions lie with her beautiful sister Tamsin. The ugly duckling of the family, Emma receives little affection. And while Bram Fox may be dangerously attractive, but only Canon Robartes, relishing her wit and vulnerability, can teach her the true meaning of love.
Set in Cornwall in the early Nineteenth Century, The Ugly Sister is an absorbing read, reminiscent of Winston Graham’s classic Poldark novels.
