Against all the odds: Cold Hillside

[MartinC]

So. After a full and frank exchange of faxes with Amazon’s legal department, the pirates have been routed (see thread in Writers’ Corner). An “authorised” edition of Cold Hillside is now available, with improved formatting, table of contents and illustrations. Enjoy. Or rather, buy. Then enjoy.

Blurb:

Simon Coltraine is a professional songwriter and musician. His brother Giles - market trader, rogue and amiable bully - is a crook. When Giles is killed in a car accident Simon returns to their childhood home to confront his memories and his own complicity in his brother’s schemes.

Giles, my sibling, my Mephistophilis. You lie whenever it suits you, but when you lie to me, surely you can take the trouble to make it convincing?

Martin Cooper links the sunlit sweep of England’s West Country landscapes with the grubby avarice of London’s Kentish Town Road. A turn-the-page crime story, shot through with humour and melancholy.

The Devil has all the best tunes.

[Aside] How was that? D’you think they’ll go for it?

[Voice off] Your microphone’s still on.
