Fear, grief, frustration and regret; love, relief, joy and hope; revenge, ambition, arrogance and delusion. These are the emotions and compulsions that drive the characters in the pages of Siren City and Other Tales. The eclectic collection of stories is set in locations as varied as London, New York, Venice, Montreux - and a remote and alien planet. Stories feature a cop battling crime and climate change in a dystopian future; a pressured Presidential adviser who devises a pragmatic solution to his problems; an ambitious go-getter unwilling to wait for the top prize; a womaniser whose pursuit of the opposite sex leads him to a sticky end; and an over-worked businessman haunted by a twenty-five year-old mystery. And in Siren City it is the setting itself that is the central character.
