There have been so many deaths at this massive, old, flooded quarry over the years they've nick-named it 'The Incident Pit'. The bottom of it has never been reached and so there's an obsession by divers to be the first to get there. And as the authorities threaten to close the dive site for good this obsession is intensified as the chance to be the conqueror of the Pit is gone forever. In the wake of the death of its latest victim, Rob, views are polarised in the club. Fiona now plans to give up diving altogether but Martin is more determined than ever to be that conqueror. But as everyone refuses to go with him he is forced the consider breaking the hallowed diving rule; never dive alone. Fiona and Martin argue furiously about what counts as bravery and what as recklessness. When does ambition turn into suicide? But undeterred, Martin carries on. After all, he argues; what's the point of living if we don't take risks? And so he plans his dive - and a whole new adventure begins.
Autorenporträt
Chris has been writing plays, novels and screenplays since 1998. The Incident Pit follows the success of his last book, Hurricane Hill, which received critical acclaim. Like that novel, this book is an adaptation of his stage play of the same name which tours the UK in 2019. This will be his 8th play and 6th book which continue his theme of original, story-based work. "I love imagination," he says, "and I constantly want to take readers and audiences to places they possibly could never reach - but through my writing, of course they can. There's something really satisfying about that." After having lived in many different parts of the UK, and abroad for a while, Chris now lives around the Chester area with his two young sons, Tom and James. Apart from his love of writing, he has a passion for flying, having held his Private Pilot's Licence since 1988. He also has an appetite for adventure. One of his most memorable expeditions was crossing Australia by bicycle with his brother, Tony, from Perth to Sydney in 28 days. "Life is there for challenging," Chris concludes.
