Finance Director, Alastair Johnson, is in trouble. He needs a lot of money, and he needs it very soon. Alastair's solution is unorthodox and completely out of character - the fallout leaves his family torn apart.

Produktbeschreibung
Finance Director, Alastair Johnson, is in trouble. He needs a lot of money, and he needs it very soon. Alastair's solution is unorthodox and completely out of character - the fallout leaves his family torn apart. But everything is not what it seems ... -------------------------- "It reads like a fast-paced and twisting thriller, but built around rich complex characters and dotted with beautiful, often moving, descriptions of feelings and place. I loved the short, punchy chapters and easy format. Very original." "What a cracking story! I especially enjoyed the way it all unfolded at the end. Really clever and credible and I didn't see the twists coming - very well done!" "As in his previous book, 'Best Eaten Cold', Tony Salter captures our attention and keeps it, as the story unfolds chapter by chapter. Full of lovely prose, characters that you feel you know and some surprise twists and turns, this is a truly sumptuous and satisfying read." "FLIPPIN' BRILLIANT!" "The Old Orchard is a pacy, tense, domestic thriller which builds an original and satisfying plot around real characters we can believe in. The prose is light and evocative with vivid descriptions and many moments of real insight and human wisdom." "This is a different book from the author's debut, although the author's originality and individual style remains. The Old Orchard is not quite as dark and twisted - at least not on the surface - but it is an equally compelling read. Flipping between 1995 and 2017, the exciting plot develops and holds the reader's attention as we learn how easy it is for a family to break itself in two. We also learn to care what happens to the characters and there are plenty of moments of genuine human emotion to move us."
Autorenporträt
Tony's latest thriller, Sixty Minutes, was released on 29th August 2019. Tony is the author of bestselling psychological thriller, Best Eaten Cold. He writes pacy contemporary thrillers which explore different themes, but all share Tony's thought-provoking plots and richly-painted characters. Sixty Minutes is his fourth novel. His second novel, The Old Orchard - a gripping family thriller - was published on the 7th of November 2017 and the sequel to Best Eaten Cold, - Cold Intent - was published in November 2018. Highlights of his early career include (in no particular order) three years as an oilfield engineer in the Egyptian desert, twelve years managing record companies for EMI Music in Greece, India and across Eastern Europe, running a caravan site in the South of France and being chauffeur to the French Consul in Sydney. Having survived the Dotcom boom, he went on to be a founder of the world's largest website for expatriates, a major music publisher and a successful hotel technology business. In amongst this, Tony found the time to backpack around the world twice (once in his twenties and once in his fifties), learn six languages (including Norwegian and Greek) and to find a beautiful Norwegian wife. He now lives in Oxfordshire and writes full-time. He has recently turned sixty and is married with three children and five grandchildren. You can find out more about Tony at www.tonysalter.com
