  Hong Kong Rocks

  Nick Powell, arriving in Hong Kong with his soon-to-be-ex-wife Lennox, finds himself drawn into the political machinations affecting the city as the Occupy movement of 2014 takes root. 
  A fatal accident exposes the factions vying for control of the SAR and gives Nick the second chance desired by many Hong Kong expats. Will he make the most of the opportunity, or find himself on the wrong side of history? 
  Shifting between a variety of unique voices, HONG KONG ROCKS (a Hong Kong Proverse Prize finalist) is part thriller, part creative exploration of the challenges facing a special administrative region punching above its weight. 
  Though rooted in experience and influenced by real-life events, this novel represents an alternative version of Hong Kong’s recent history and takes regular liberties within this parallel world for the benefit of satire. The book was completed after the Occupy protests of 2014 but before the escalation of protests in the territory beginning June 2019, the action taking place in a notional 2018. —Peter Humphreys, Author.

  The Frozen Heiress - The First...

  A wry, hard‑bitten solicitor with a bad knee and a brave cocker spaniel walks into a bomb, a fake heiress, and a family conspiracy—then fights to get one real woman her life back. 
  I woke up with one brogue, a dog in my office, and a metal cigar case in my jacket that my gut said would remove me from the gene pool if I pressed the wrong button. That was the start of it. By the time the train reached the Cairngorms I'd got a dead woman on a bed that wasn’t the heiress, a fake identity stitched together like bad theatre, and a solicitor who’d decided law was only a suggestion. 
  I’m no detective. I’m a solicitor—an ex‑SAS man trying to learn how to do paperwork again. But paperwork doesn’t cover explosive devices, locked cellars, or the kind of men who buy other people’s silence. So I did the only sensible thing: I used the army part when the law wouldn’t do, and the law part when the violence was over. What I didn’t expect was for an heiress to stand in my jacket and tell me to sit down. That’s how you know a case is personal.
