• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Colin Forrest is 23, a postgraduate student at Bristol University. When he abruptly ends it with his Albanian girlfriend, her three brothers come over from Tirana, minded to undo the dishonour that has befallen their sister. Their matrimonial persuasiveness includes a sawn-off shotgun ...

He flees to the other side of the country and a summer job as a groundsman at Bubthorpe Pines, a private resort on the Norfolk coast. The owner has a daughter named Amy. Colin has vehemently forsworn getting tangled up again, but the instant he sets eyes on her his fate is sealed.

Amy has other ideas, so too the head groundsman, whose expletive-laden vocabulary is not for the faint of heart. Nor does it help that the resort is understaffed and heading for a financial meltdown. But at least, Colin tells himself, he is a hundred and fifty miles from Bristol. More. And there are nearly seven months to go before his contract ends in October.

Autorenporträt

Richard Herley was born in England in 1950 and educated at Watford Boys' Grammar School and Sussex University, where his interest in natural history led him to read biology. However, since graduating he has devoted himself to writing.

His first published novel was The Stone Arrow (1978), which won the Winifred Holtby Memorial Prize, administered by the Royal Society of Literature in London. This was the first in a trilogy. The trilogy was followed by The Penal Colony (1987), which formed the basis of the 1994 movie No Escape, starring Ray Liotta. Since then he has self-published.

He lives in north Norfolk and his interests include birding, botany, cycling, and walking by the sea.
