Bøger af Pat Black

To Pay the Ferryman is the first instalment in a new series featuring Glasgow detective D.I. Lomond - a multi-threaded mystery where Lomond faces a race against time to stop a deranged serial killer. Pat Black tackles themes of patriarchal power, female expression and independence, and the intolerence that is prevelant in our society today.

The poverty-stricken vagabond Barron Desulfer, addicted to drugs and alcohol and once a professor and renowned writer, decides to turn his life around. By chance, he meets up with an ex military Colonel, Ken, who is looking for someone to write his autobiography; this opportunity becomes the only hope that the desperate Barron needs to bring him up from the poorness in which he lives. Barron, suffering from progressive memory loss, has kept a daily journal for over thirty years. He begins interviewing the Colonel. As the month's pass and the project moves forward, Barron stumbles onto a diary that belongs to the Colonel. What he finds in it will forever change the path in which he is on; hope will be stripped away. Or will it? The quagmire of a story with four reflections from four different books at the same time can only be complicated more with the presence of an alter-ego as the voice of the book. Lemons on a plate...(an alter-ego speaks), the first volume of the series, will challenge the reader and emotionally capture the soul. Pat Black is a ghostwriter that has written for some of the top novelists in the world. He has lived this part of his life underground, in the absence of fame. He has been summoned by those very writers to come out of the shadows and this is the first of the series for "LEMONS ON A PLATE...."

"I should have gouged his eyes out, made them bleed, and let him die with empty, dry sockets. Just setting the place on fire while he slept may not have been enough to satisfy my craving to kill him." The landscape of emotional and explosive events from the first volume of Lemons on a Plate (an alter-ego speaks) changes dramatically as the seeds of revenge grow. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN FENCEPOSTS (the second volume in the Lemons on a Plate series) continues the story of the poverty-stricken vagabond and renowned writer and professor Barron Desulfer and the ex military officer Ken. Engrossed by vengeance and unexplained powerlessness, an old book is added to the storyline and a dramatic shift occurs. This volume will bring the unanswered concerns of the first one into light and continue challenging the reader with emotional and thrilling suspense.
