The Girl Starts To Sing

Having scored a big publishing success with the biography of a major rock star, Alan Fennemore might have expected his career as a writer to have taken off. It hasn’t, and he finds himself making a living writing throwaway, unauthorised books about D-list celebrities and transient pop sensations. His current project is about Martin Byrne, a TV talent show contestant who is suddenly back in vogue. Unfortunately, Martin really is as inoffensive as his public persona suggests he is – there is simply nothing interesting to write about him.

In his increasingly desperate hunt for background information, Alan begins to realise that the public version of Byrne’s family history doesn’t stack up. The more he digs, the darker the landscape becomes until he’s dangerously enmeshed in a much bigger story than he could ever have expected to find.

Daddy's Eyes

A hugely embarrassing and humiliating public mistake leads to a change of career direction for advertising executive Alan Fennemore. He's presented with the opportunity to ghost-write the biography of one of the UK's most enigmatic rock stars of the 70s, Tony McCall. But this is no hagiography. Tony's cupboard is full of skeletons - skeletons Tony is determined to bring out into the open.

Pernkopf's Atlas

Twice-divorced middle-aged teacher Andy Roberts' life is on what feels like permanent hold. His job teaching History in Ballymoney Grammar is stifling him, his cold and emotionally distant father's ill-health requires his constant attention. He's going nowhere. The universe is conspiring though. His father's death reveals a mystery with its roots in postwar Germany Andy feels compelled to unravel. His quest is sidelined when another bombshell is dropped into his lap: his dying ex-wife presents him with a troubled 16-year-old son he knew nothing about. Andy's life is turned on its head. Is Andy doomed to repeat his own father's mistakes, or will solving the riddle of what happened in Occupied Germany bring redemption to father, father and son?
