Since his luck turned bad in Vegas a year ago, Charlie Howard has been living an honest writer’s life in Venice. He reckons his latest Faulks manuscript will crack those bestseller lists wide open and he can’t wait for his agent Victoria’s verdict.
But first he has to get his priceless signed first edition of The Maltese Falcon back from a fetching but rather loopy cat burglar. The price? One simple job and Charlie will get the ‘Falcon’ back. Refuse and the book will be destroyed.
Charlie can’t risk losing his good luck charm but when the ‘simple job’ blasts him head-first into the canal he’s pretty sure the ‘Falcon’ is gone for good. Charlie’s landed himself and Victoria in the middle of an assassination plot, but Victoria has a plan – and enough non-lethal weaponary to make Q branch green with envy. Her idea is outrageous and it might work but either way once it’s over Charlie’s leaving Venice for good.
Don't forget Chris will be reading at TKE 7pm Saturday August 13th.
