SUMMARY


Who would expect a laundry war on the idyllic shores of Lake Garda. That’s what Emily Beech, runaway wife of London crime boss Charlie Beech, walks into. 

 

Charlie is determined to find Emily but is distracted by a deal with the Japanese and Italians that may be slipping away from him. 

 

Hiding not only from Charlie but his Milan crime associates Emily makes friends and tries to build a life and business while navigating an unexpected love triangle. 

 

DI Dave Simmonds desperately wants to persuade Emily to give evidence against Charlie, almost jeopardising her life in the process. But Emily is smarter than anyone gives her credit for, having spent the last five years putting all the pieces in place for a plan that she just needs a little more time to bring to fruition. 

 

Will she succeed before Charlie finds her or the Italian crime syndicate makes all her hard work a waste of time? 

 

An absorbing drama that will keep you reading to the last word.

TAKING THE PLUNGE

My dad was a fella with an Einstein brain from a not so well-off family. The way his brain worked was a wonder. It took him a while to gather his thoughts which kind of suggested he was indecisive which was not the case. When it came to it, he made a choice and stuck right on with it. At fourteen he left school and worked as an apprentice bookbinder of all things. At fifteen he had enough to pay for night school. Electronics was the thing he thought. At sixteen his brother joined him. At eighteen they both qualified. At nineteen in 1940 he was in the RAF mending radios on bombers. His brother mended radios in tanks in the desert and Italy. In 1946 he got married on a whim to a nurse who nursed him. Nothing so romantic as a war wound. An in-growing toena il. In 1950 he was developing radar and early computers. His brother fixed TVs in South Africa after emigrating.     What is all this about you might ask. A life history. In a way for sure but mostly it is about taking the p...

A Chicken, White Tack and a Chimney Sweep

  Raphael Ravenscroft suddenly fires up and fills the speakers of the bedside digital clock. That riff. And what a riff. That infectious sound, a creation of pure genius by the coming together of one of the greatest saxophone players of the modern age and the burgeoning talent of ex busker and Stealers Wheel frontman Gerry Rafferty. Eight in the morning and time to get up. Tommy Tucker, as is his usual practice, wakes but does not turn off the alarm. He always, most definitely always , listens to the entire track. Baker Street containing the best example of passionate saxophone playing. Ever.

A Bucket Full of Colours

Monday morning and it is sunny but cool. Delany Quick exuberantly placed the empty cappuccino cup on the counter of the walk-in coffee shop, exaggeratedly but unnecessarily pushed his long black hair away from his face and looked the server firmly in the eye. His dark almost black eyes penetrated but at the same time displayed a humorous twinkle that softened what might have been a most disconcerting stare.    In reply to her question, he said firmly with a sudden, jaunty smile, “ W hat I do madam is sell magic. Delaney Quick at your service. Purveyor of fine magic sparks.” She had spotted this tall, strange man ambling along the pavement giving the impression of someone with a clumpy gait but who had then almost glided into her establishment to sit astride one of the tall counter stools immediately in front of her in the most theatrical manner. He had ordered a cappuccino, “ H ot and as strong as you can make it please,” and downed it in one motion, without taking breath,...
