Product Description

Product Description

From the same fictional world as his forthcoming novel Hawthorn & Child, Keith Ridgway gives us a self-contained story about the danger of stories. A novelist that no one reads, Clive Drayton has decided to set aside literary fiction and write a bestseller. Easy, right? But there are choices to be made. What sort of story should it be? A thriller, of course. About a convoluted and compelling terrorist plot, and the copper who must stop it. And the target? Well, it's London, it's 2012 - what do you think the target is? What could possibly go wrong? Ridgway gives us a comic and cautionary tale about a man who tries to make it all up, and about the risk of being believed.

Really enjoyed this book. It's not a long read, read it in an afternoon. It's quirky, well written and makes you think. Altogether a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but predictable. 2 Mar 2013

I've read all of Ridgeway's work including Hawthorn and Child which this short story connects to. It's well paced and enjoyable to read but the plot is a familiar twist. Despite this i eagerly await Ridgeway's next novel.
