Autorenporträt

S.A. Aslam was born and lives in England and has a background in news and business journalism. All her books are written in British English.

Gentlemen's Agreement and Other Stories is a mini series of three short mysteries involving private detective Mark Kent. Two of these stories are also available individually.

Gentlemen's Agreement is about international deals involving a Russian tycoon and property agents using their own own means - sometimes tragic, sometimes vindictive - to cope in a changing society.

Blackmail focuses how a family's reputation and finances face ruin from scheming young woman also struggling to escape from her own money problems.

The Inheritance tells of a young man who ends up fighting for survival when he becomes embroiled in human trafficking as he tries to prove himself to his family.

Two further stories stand alone:

The Window is about an innocent bystander who unexpectedly witnesses a right-wing demonstration and hides in a terror reminiscent of a totalitarian state and mob hunter violence.

Lost Property is a short story of black humour about a bored and staid public sector worker whose chance meeting with an older 'good-time' woman changes his perspective of life.

S.A. Aslam hopes to publish her first novella in the coming months.
