Introducing Advanced Smash Repairs. Spillage is the first tale in a quirky six-part series about a smash repair business that knows too much. Craig runs a small workshop, and with the help of his staff - lead mechanic Pavel, apprentice Clint and the enigmatic test driver Boris - he fixes cars in unconventional ways, and in the process ends up solving a few mysteries along the way. A damaged and mysterious BMW and an over-enthusiastic ex-customer challenge Craig's patience and skill in a tough week at Advanced Smash Repairs
The Queensberry Rule Don't get mad, get even But better be careful . . . In a world where the truth can be manufactured in an instant with a post or a tweet, sometimes good intentions aren't enough. Jason has had his son, his security and now his job taken away from him. Consumed by bitterness at the injustice of it all, he needs to work out if he really wants to fight back - when someone offers to help him do just that. He has to decide for himself if the shadowy Queensberry Foundation believes the same things about justice that he does. If The Queensberry Rule was a film, think The Firm meets Falling Down meets Fight Club.

NOW WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOCK MACNEISH What Readers Say "Funny, considered, intelligent humour which struck a chord for me as a cricket fan" "Warwick Todd with bite "
