From the author of ‘The King of Gravesend’ Series.
CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF YOUR BOOK?
Angel Trent fairly recently started painting, and several of her works won prizes in local competitions. Remembering something that her wife, Ro, once said about the paintings belonging in a gallery she decides to open her own gallery and auction house in an abandoned pub, that is a few hundred years old and once served the workers and travellers on the River Thames.
More importantly she wants to feature artists that she considers “Angels” – people that have given selflessly to the community, and to use any money raised to fund an art therapy program at Besi’s Place, the shelter that she and her wife started together.
Meanwhile a serial domestic abuser is released early from prison, seemingly a model and reformed character, but really he is hell bent on finding his ex-wife and daughter and teaching them a lesson. His descent into obsessive madness runs headlong into Angel’s dream project when he becomes convinced they are being kept at Besi’s Place.
WHAT ARE YOUR BOOK USPs?
All of my latest books have dealt with current, and very real, issues. Including the surge in politicians and others seeking fame through divisive and hate filled rhetoric, human trafficking and modern slavery, organised and exploitative crimes being committed under our very noses (google Alice Guo, Philippines for an example) and in this book, the evil of domestic abuse and how abusers often justify it by quoting religious texts. I never met a cause I wouldn’t meet head on.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF?
Recently retired and living in the Philippines Peter draws on a lifetime of experiences to create unique characters and situations. Those experiences include having worked in the cinema and entertainment industry, in corporate business and over 25 years in military and civilian parachuting and skydiving, including over 10 years with the Qatar Special Forces. He boldly champions the LGBTQIA+ community and integrating many of his characters who are members of that community seamlessly into his plot lines.
