Produktbeschreibung
When Lolita's father dies, he leaves her a curio in his Will. It's a box, which is not to be opened unless the town faces an existential crisis. But other people have boxes too, and they aren't prepared to wait... which may cause the very crisis itself. Digging into the history of Sunrise uncovers a century-old mystery - a closely guarded secret which holds the key to the town's future. Beckman and Lolita must embark on a mission to reconnect with family, rebuild a shattered friendship, and confront the most unexpected of adversaries to save the town they hold dear. Nothing can be taken for granted - not even love. The final book in the "Sunrise trilogy" is a humorous cozy mystery fuelled by coffee, break-ups, make-ups and a lot of sparkle.
Autorenporträt
Chris Towndrow has been a writer since 1991.He began writing science fiction, inspired by Asimov, Iain M Banks, and numerous film and TV canons. After a few years creating screenplays across several genres, in 2004 he branched out into playwriting and has had several productions professionally performed. This background is instrumental in his ability to produce realistic, compelling dialogue in his books.His first published novel was 2012's far-future, post-war space opera "Sacred Ground". He then changed focus into near-future sci-fi adventures, and the Enna Dacourt pentalogy was completed in 2023. In a similar vein, "Nuclear Family" was a venture into post-apocalyptic fiction.He has always drawn inspiration from the big screen, and 2019's quirky romantic black comedy "Tow Away Zone" owes much to the films of the Coen Brothers. This spawned two sequels in what became the "Sunrise trilogy".His first historical fiction novel, "Signs Of Life", was published by Valericain Press in 2023.Chris then returned to his passion for writing accessible humour and is focussing on romantic comedies. Writing under the new pen name Chrissie Harrison, his rom-com debut, "Floored", published in April 2024 to great reviews, and outsold his entire back catalogue in just 6 months. May 2025 saw the publication of "Wicket Maiden", a genre defining rom-com set in the world of women's cricket.Chris lives on the outskirts of London with his family. He is a member of the UK Society of Authors, the Alliance of Independent Authors, and the Romantic Novelists Association.
