| Book by Local Author
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by Stephen Done
This is the first “Inspector Vignoles Mystery" by new author Stephen Done who lives in Brackley, and will appeal to all lovers of classic crime fiction in the mould of Simenon, Dexter and Leon.
The story is loosely based on the Great Central Railway, although the actual line bears only a passing resemblance to that described within the book and many liberties have been taken.
“Your descriptive passages are totally wonderful throughout ... truly sensational. I really felt I was there, sending a shiver up my spine.” Helena Wojtzak.
Published by Hastings Press, 2007. Price £7.50 (plus £1.50pp) from The Old Hall Bookshop, Waterstones (Banbury), selected bookstores,e-mail Stephen Done,or purchase the book via Amazon.com. |
