How far would a father go to protect his daughter-especially when his protection is as dangerous as the threats he faces?
Billy Whitlow, once the smooth-talking Don of Doo Wop, has left behind his wild days of drink, drugs, and endless groupies. His life now revolves around his seventeen-year-old daughter Bex, who's gearing up for her 'A' Levels and visiting him for Easter. But their quiet reunion is violently disrupted after a fateful night at a local nightclub, shattering Billy's hopes for a peaceful father-daughter bond.
Now, Billy is a man consumed by rage and questions: Why is Bex in a drug-induced coma? Who is responsible for this nightmare? And how will he make them pay, no matter the cost?
Clive Gilson masterfully weaves a story that is raw, poignant, and pulse-pounding, diving into the deepest corners of human emotion. With sharp, cinematic prose, [insert book title] unfolds in a gritty landscape of urban decay and forgotten futures-where splintered glass, dust motes, and cracked plaster set the stage for haunted memories and broken dreams. Gilson's poetic attention to detail finds beauty in the mundane and terror in the everyday, delivering a tale that will linger in readers' minds long after they turn the last page.
And it's not just the suspense that will grip you. Gilson balances sharp, cynical humor with astute observations of love, loss, and the painful resilience of the human spirit. Whether it's through moments of haunting sadness or sly wit, his stories hit hard and resonate deeply.
As editor Lorna Howarth puts it: In over a decade of working with Clive Gilson, his stories never fail to take my breath away. He can shift between poetry, short fiction, contemporary novels, folklore, and science fiction with ease, and each story is either memorably poignant, hauntingly unnerving, or sidesplittingly funny.
Prepare to be captivated, unnerved, and utterly swept away by Gilson's unforgettable narrative.
