Authonomy Pitch and some comments about Last Things

When he draws back the curtain, it is already too late.

Sweet,little Georgia Lee has been taken.

Simon watches Mrs Johnson. Tom finds another cardigan. Elizabeth lies in her bath. Joseph cleans up the mess in his garden. Frank paints nightmare visions on the walls inside his house. Young Foskett wants Peter to go through the last gate. God knows what he will find. How are all these connected? How many will come out of this unscathed?

And Crow?

Crow knows they are all animals.

Are some crimes justifiable? Make up your own mind.

'...dark and compelling.'

'...wonderful'

'...like being steeped in a Hitchcock movie.'

'Everywhere you turn in the opening chapter you encounter something newly sinister.'

Last Things



It feels great to feel the weight of the real book in my hands.  Now comes the difficult part of publicising and promoting the book.  Working with publisher Mathom House we have come up with this as the blurb:

An unusual and intriguing crime novella. Sweet, little Georgia Lee has been taken. The papers are full of it.  Simon, starting his first day at work has his dirty secret and he meets Tom who also has something to hide.  The community is sucked in and Crow watches on.


Does this describe the book as you know it?
