Summary

Set in contemporary Europe, the kaleidoscopic story follows three characters, one in Stockholm and its island Archipelago, one in Berlin and its sluggish river Spree, and one in Girona, with its views of the Pyrenees. Three different characters in three different theatrical worlds lead lives of identity, cultural reference, knowledge and imagination and they are all in motion towards the same stage of a theatre school in Barcelona, where maybe, if they can all get into the right place at the right time, they will perform together.Ian Duckworth was born in Bradford. He went to King’s College London for his degree in History, and Manchester University for his Diploma in Art Gallery and Museum Studies. He worked in Art Galleries, Museums, and Sculpture Parks in the UK, as well as in Orange County, New York State. He was then involved in setting up BLR-WORLD, a globally operating international recruitment and consulting company, with its main office in Dubai, that works with Museums, Heritage, Events and Attractions in the Cultural Industries. He has lived in Girona, Catalonia, Spain since 2010.

    When a lone rider drifts into the dusty frontier town of Painted Canyon, he plans to water his horse and move on. But one darkened doorway, one hidden gunman, and one split-second shot change everything. 
Now the stranger finds himself trapped in a town where every street hides danger and every shadow seems to carry a rifle. Somebody has been waiting for him. Somebody knows his name. And somebody intends to make sure he never rides out alive. 
Outnumbered and wounded, the rider must fight his way through a deadly web of ambushes, secrets, and old grudges buried deep beneath the dust of Painted Canyon. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more he realizes the killer in the doorway may not be the deadliest man in town. 
Because in some places, death doesn't ride in from the outside. 
It's already waiting when you arrive. 
KILLER IN THE DOORWAY is a hard-driving Western packed with blazing gunfights, shadowy enemies, and relentless frontier suspense from the first shot to the last.

    An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
