Stark Choices: An Adam Stark Novel - Paperback

by Peter Carroll (Author)

DI Adam Stark has left London and his overbearing boss, returned to his home town of Alloa, hoping things might be quieter and to spend a bit of time with his Ma. Meanwhile, Stella McDuff has just won millions on the lottery. It's the only good luck she's had in her entire life. She has plans to escape to London, leaving her life of drudgery, her thoughtless children and brutish husband, Billy, behind. Stark knows the McDuffs well. Billy and his brother Malky are arch-enemies from childhood and they're not pleased to see him again. Stella is rich, she can almost taste her freedom, but winning that amount of money has awakened a few green-eyed monsters. It's not long before she's facing every parent's worst nightmare and Stark is dealing with missing persons, kidnap, ransom and murder. So much for the quiet life back home. Be careful what you wish for...

Author Biography

Biography Peter is a Scottish person who's nearer fifty than forty now and has no idea how that happened! He's been married for a long time and has one daughter. When finances and time permit, he travels the world in search of birds and other wildlife and is a committed conservationist. As a self-taught bassist, saying he's a musician may be stretching it, but he has a go now and again. Literary influences include Christopher Brookmyre, Stephen King and Irvine Welsh, so expect bad language, violence, black humour and significantly fewer adverbs than most...oh... So far, he has six novels published. You can connect with Peter on his website at www.petercarroll.ravencrestbooks.com Twitter @PeterCarroll10 and Facebook at www.facebook.com/PCNovel1
