If pride comes before a fall, so too does greed. When George Jensen discovers his wife Paula's adultery with the rich and influential Martin Brack, the scene is set for a vengeful campaign of blackmail. Brack soon realises that Jensen will not go away; he must be removed. But there was homework to be done and by its neglect the plan goes disastrously wrong. Jensen is left doubly embittered and very much alive. His response is naked greed, fuelled by unreasoning anger. Both protagonists are facing destruction. In this woeful tale there is sexual dalliance, blackmail, death and mindless retribution. The cruel twist at the story's heart is beautifully counterbalanced by the fresh breath of innocent hope and a quiet striving for reconciliation enacted by two young children, carrying the episode to a moving and magical conclusion. Theirs is the final distinction and dignity.

Autorenporträt
Craig Brown is a Kiwi-born author living in the United Kingdom. At the age of 16, he knew he wanted to write. At 18, after a ridiculously brief stint at university, he quit his Law and Commerce degrees to become a full time writer, which eventually he did, 31 years later. He's a bit of a slow starter. His debut novel, 'A Little Something To Hide' explores the lives of the passengers that climb aboard the Briscola Coach Service from San Francisco to Albuquerque. He said of the novel, 'It's a shy wee book. It will peek from behind its curtain gradually, one passenger's story at a time,' which it did when it was serialised on Amazon throughout 2024.
