From the author of Switchback Stories comes another collection of secrets and sins. FOURTEEN TALES WITH A TWIST Just as headlights cast their beam on the unexpected, these tales lead to hidden places of mystery, suspense and surprise: -the body of a local man is found in a deserted field. Suspicion falls on a travelling gypsy fair and the mysterious tarot reader who has now vanished. As anger in the country town explodes, detectives Carmichael and Talbot are faced with a twisting maze of clues and a killer poised to strike again; -An idyllic river, a keen fisherman who can't swim, a sandbank, and a selfish executive with a flawless plan for the perfect murder. Sometimes it's the details you can't see that bring the most unlikely result; -A legendary country rock musician arrives in a small town to join an unknown band. Is he simply seeking a simple life away from the bright lights - or is there another side to his story that no-one would ever suspect?; -Two sisters visit their wealthy aunt on her secluded estate. One has murder on her mind. A sudden switch will change the game - and the winner; -A young boy goes against his town's warning and sneaks onto a secluded estate. Have all the scary stories been a myth? Or does something sinister lurk beyond these groves of trees? Fourteen stories in all: each follows a switchback road of twists and turns. Praise for Iain Edward Henn's novels: "A stylish craftily-worded thriller...crossing time, social class, love, loss, indulgence, greed, and ...pure evil...a fantastic read."-Huffington Post "A fast-paced thriller...hooks readers into caring about the chase."-Publishers Weekly
