Beschreibung

When a travelling salesman stumbles upon a secret town, he must choose between love and a long-held promise of untold riches. Beckman Spiers is a grey man in a grey world - and he's happy with that. After twelve years of routine and grind, he's again fighting to become The Pegasus Corporation's lauded Number One Salesman of the Year. Legend has it, Number Ones get so rich, they never work again. With only one week to go, Beckman is gaining on his nemesis, smooth-talking Tyler. When a chance blowout on a deserted Arizona road leaves Beckman stranded, the enigmatic Saul arrives and tows him to the curious neon-lit town of Sunrise. Here, he meets the glamorous Lolita, sparks fly, and his fortunes change. He can't fall in love with her, of course - she's already engaged. And he's not stopping for more than a night... is he? Yet, Beckman accidentally discovers that Sunrise's small-town charms conceal secrets. Soon, his once monochrome world becomes a colourful one filled with fraught friendships, private investigators, and an unexpected shot at romance. What will he have to do to reach Number One? And if he wins, will he turn his back on love? In this stylistic and mysterious romantic comedy, meet the most unique characters and get pulled into the colourful world of Sunrise.

Autor

Chris Towndrow has been a writer since 1991.He began writing science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 he branched out into playwriting and has had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in his ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in his books.His first published novel was 2012's far-future, post-war space opera "Sacred Ground". He then changed focus into Earth-centric, near-future sci-fi adventures, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023. In a similar vein, "Nuclear Family" was a venture into post-apocalyptic fiction.He has always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019's quirky romantic black comedy "Tow Away Zone" owes much to the films of the Coen Brothers. This spawned two sequels in what became the "Sunrise trilogy".His first historical fiction novel, "Signs Of Life", was published by Valericain Press in 2023. With a number of excellent reviews, this Western romance has been his most popular title.In 2023, Chris returned to his passion for writing accessible humour and will devote his efforts to romantic comedies. The first of these, "Floored", is published in April 2024 under the pen name Chrissie Harrison.Chris lives on the outskirts of London with his family and works as a video editor and producer. He is a member of the UK Society of Authors and the Romantic Novelists Association.
