Produktbeschreibung
This often funny, frequently poignant collection of 22 stories in several genre, many with the theme of the dire effects of crime on the innocent, take us from the UK to the Caribbean, wartime Bavaria, the Vercours Mountains in France and starts with 'THE DARK SIDE OF LIGHT,' a story inspired by a real crime which had tragic results, set in eerie, moonlit Dorset in the early 1800's and ends with four, gripping stories featuring the old time Security Consultant, Eric Miller who can now only get jobs from shady clients. He falls for Anita Tregowan, a glamorous, talented caberet singer with abysmal tastes in men. Is she all she appears to be and does it go well for them?
Autorenporträt
Tony Billinghurst published his first story in Ireland in the mid-1960s whilst reading many of the early 20th century greats, Hemingway in particular which was a mistake; for years, everything he wrote was a bad pastiche of Hemingway; he'd got into the habit of using few words. He likes to write in a variety of styles, themes and locations which is reflected in the eclectic nature of this collection. Tony Billinghurst has long been interested in English social history and several of his stories are inspired by historic facts, The Dark Side of Light being one.
