A TWIST IN THE TALE is a book containing four different stories -
but what each story has in common is that they all have an unusual
and unexpected ending. A final unforseen twist - hence the title.
The first - SEA DEEP- tells the story of Pete an advertising man in
London who is suddenly made redundant. Finding it difficult to get
another job in the world of advertising he embarks on an adventure
to fulfill an ambition which subsequently completely changes his
life. The second - ILLUSION - recounts the impact on a small boy
during World War Two of seeing captured Italian soldiers behind
barbed wire in a prisoner of war camp built on the moors outside
Sheffield and the friendship that he establishes with one of them
followed by his subsequent attempt after the war to meet the man
back in his home village near Milan. The third - CHOICE - again
returns to the Advertising and Marketing world. As the story
evolves we see how the central character Dave struggles with his
conscience over the affair he is having with a work colleague, and
how it affects his relationship with his wife and two children.
Eventually he has to make a choice - wife or mistress? But fate has
a way of interfering in his decision. The final story - GONE -
deals with the issue of a businessman happily married for ten years
but who one Sunday afternoon simply walks out of their farmhouse
and completely disappears. Where has he gone and why? And who is
the mysterious Bulgarian woman who appears on the scene and what
has she got to do with the missing man? A taut "who-dun-it" which
like the other stories at the end has a Twist in the Tale .
