Produktbeschreibung

A short story. In this gentle black comedy Gerhard is a bored and undervalued government clerk who has been overlooked for promotion in favour of younger workers. His life is dull and grey and he seeks solace in eating. He has a chance meeting with a flamboyant older woman of independent means whose values clash with his humdrum world and challenge his view of life and work.

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.
