Perfect Roger
A fable of contrasting lives, who gets the most fulfilment?
Roger Collins and Han Sen, one bought up in the Surrey stockbroker belt of 1970's England, the other amid the horrors of the Khmer Rouge regime in deepest Cambodia. If they were inadvertently thrown together in catastrophic circumstances, would they learn from one another? Or would they simply carry on as the entitled Englishman and the selfless Buddhist. Find out in this epic contrasting tale packed full of moral and cultural conundrums.
Hugo
Boxing, but not as we know it
The story of our selectively-mute unexploded teenage love-bomb from the Isle of Skye. He's so good at boxing that Max, our East End almost-reformed villain and Illich Andrayovic, our Vladivostock-based oligarch, both want to sign him up at any cost. While they do battle, Hugo has different ideas. Can the Royal Navy sink the right luxury yacht? Can the hapless Met police arrest the right villain? Does Hugo get the girl promoter, despite the fact she's gay?
It's anybody's guess in this calamitous caper of a crime comedy from the acclaimed author of Perfect Roger.
