The Late Shift Specialist

Beschreibung

A collection of seventeen contemporary short stories from the writer of the Nick Fisher series of crime novels, the first of which, The Unforgiving Stone, was published in October, 2020. The second in the series is expected in spring, 2021. However, this collection of short stories is not crime writing. These stories are varied: intimate and moving, honest and reflective, quirky and intriguing. Full of colour, character and wry humour, they are written straight from the heart. The collection includes the following stories: The Secretive Man The Chinaman's Dog Paradise The Garage Job The Butcher of Cadenas Jack and the Dogfish Tea with Mum Tilt Referendum Wake Give and Take The Message Human Nature Hanging with the Boss Solace The Headmaster's Study The Band The Late Shift Specialist

Autor

Alex abandoned a career in finance at the age of forty-nine and spent a few years staring at the Mediterranean, contemplating life and loss. Finally, he accepted what his heart had always known. So, he joined a local writing group and he began to write. Over the next four years, he completed two novels: The Unforgiving Stone and Beneath the Stone. These are the first in a series of crime thrillers set on the island of Crete and featuring British protagonist Nick Fisher. He has also written a collection of short stories, The Late Shift Specialist. These are quite different from his crime writing. The stories are quirky, funny or sad and always written straight from the heart. Simultaneously, he has been working on novels in different genres: a black comedy set in the world of corporate finance and a bitter-sweet, coming-of-age story set in the 1960s. Born in Derbyshire, Alex now divides his time between Wiltshire and Crete, where he has an old, stone house in the central south of the island, between the Amari Valley and the Libyan Sea.
