Alarm Call: An unputdownable mystery of crime and intrigue

By Quintin Jardine

Mysteries and crime stories

Synthetic audio, Automated braille

Summary

Oz Blackstone didn?t go looking for fame: it jumped out of an alleyway and mugged him with a fist full of high denomination notes. Movie stardom, wealth, a successful marriage ? Oz is standing on the brink of the Seriously… Big Time and life just seems to keep lining up the cherries? He should have known it couldn?t stay that good for that long ? don?t the juiciest fruit always go sour? The first sign of trouble appears when Oz finds his ex-wife Primavera Phillips, drenched in her own tears ? her life in ruins, cheated out of her fortune and robbed of her baby boy, Tom, by his lying con-man father. What could Oz do but help? Maybe he should have called for help himself, or stuck to the game plan of looking after number one. Instead he set out on a voyage of dark intrigue and wild discovery that would turn his life upside down ? again.
