A Question of Identity

Sally Barton, a lively thirty-something Yorkshire ex-patriot, has long settled into her niche as an assistant librarian in the University of West Lancashire. She had found a life for herself in Ormsbury when a new member of staff, Ralph Armstrong, an English lecturer, brings a breath of fresh Yorkshire air into her life. After an initial disagreement, she finds that her expertise in her hobby of family history is required to help solve the mystery surrounding Ralph’s background, a mystery that has been bugging him and which needs solving before he can move on. Family history questions take time to unravel as they involve delving deep into documents and mythology, but eventually the mystery, which involves a crime, murder and some disturbing revelations, is finally solved. Working together with humour and understanding, Sally and Ralph find that the quest develops into a relationship neither had been expecting and together they face many problems before the conclusion.

A bientot, Mate! (See You Soon, Mate!)

My name is Dougay Roberre. Approaching 40, I left Sydney, Australia, to live in Nice, France. I was raised in the land of sea, sand, sustenance, and sex. There I’d experienced a lot of the first three.On the Cote d’Azur I bought an attic apartment; saved a beautiful woman from dying on my doorstep; discovered who killed a beautiful blonde; and in an off-handed way brought about the tragic death of a Hollywood heart throb.All that lay in the past. I couldn’t foresee I’d soon be stepping on the toes of a crime gang; I’d be fighting off thugs in a street in Milan; I’d be spending the night on a roadside garbage dump; and I’d become enthralled in a 40-year-old kidnapping. If I could have foreseen all that, I’d have stayed in bed.
