Stark Contrasts: An Adam Stark novel - Paperback

by Peter Carroll (Author)

In the heart of London, a concerned citizen is taking action: doing something about those everyday irritants that serve to increase the stresses of city life. Spitting out chewing gum, using mobiles in restaurants, barging onto Tube trains, tailgating, and blasting out music on public transport, all incur a heavy price for the transgressors. As punishments escalate in severity and the press make a champion of this anti-hero, Detective Inspector Adam Stark is desperately trying to make sense of what's going on. Random, unconnected victims, excessive retribution, red herrings, kidnap, mutilation, mistaken identity, gangsters, revenge and murder. Things are getting totally out of hand. Stark needs to nail this sociopath with a social conscience, but the case is so bizarre, it might just be running away from him - heading toward a brutal and bloody conclusion.

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
