"Perhaps we're here to save a few people. Maybe that's the gift."Fifteen-year-old Frances has been sent down to the coast for a little break. Her brother, Johnny, is out on bail after punching an off-duty policeman, and some shady characters have thrown a brick through the window of their flat. Frances's mum went off to stay with her boyfriend and Frances is sent to Helmstown, to live with her aunt, uncle and cousin Max. Frances befriends Peter Kennedy, a somewhat tramp-like character who lives in a beach hut along the Helmstown seafront. As soon as they meet, Peter recognizes that Frances is a messenger, just like him. As messengers, Frances and Peter experience black-outs. Afterwards, when they come round, they have the ability to draw, in minute detail, the scene of an accident. Peter lives with the burden of telling the people in his drawings about the circumstances of their death. He believes that if he doesn't, something bad will happen to his family. While Frances lives in dread of anything happening to her brother Johnny, she begins to think more positively: although she can't change the past, she can change the future, at least for a chosen few. Another compelling and thrilling novel for teenagers by the young author of the highly acclaimed Daylight Saving.

Most of his career was spent in front line uniform policing duties, but also spent time in CID, sneaked around in plain clothes on pro-active crime teams, was a community police officer twice, a tutor constable and completed short attachments in an Intelligence unit, dedicated interview teams and in a communications centre as a call handler.

Edward felt forced to cut his own career short after twenty five years pensionable service and retired in 2016. He now lives in North Yorkshire where he enjoys the outdoors with his two Border Collies.

Excerpt from Rattlin: The ReeferIN the volumes I am going to write, it is my intention to adhere rigidly to the truth - this will be bond fide an autobiography - and, as the public like novelty, an auto biography without an iota of fiction in the whole of it, will be the greatest novelty yet offered to its fastidiousness. As many of the events which it will be my province to record, are singular and even startling, I may be permitted to sport a little moral philosophy, drawn from the kennel in Lower Thames-street, which may teach my readers to hesitate ere they condemn as invention mere matters of absolute, though uncommon fact.Let us stand with that old gentleman under the porch of St. Magnus's church, for the rain is thrashing the streets till they actually look white, and the kennel before us is swelled into a formidable, and hardly fordable brook. That kennel is the stream of life and a dirty and a weary one it is, if we may judge by the old gentleman's looks. All is hurried into that common sewer, the grave! What bubbles float down it! Every thing that is fairly in the middle of the stream seems to sail with it, steadily and triumphantly - and many a filthy fragment enters the sewer with a pomp and dignity not unlike the funereal obsequies of a great lord. But my business is with that.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
