Introducing The Seven Sisters Of Landmark Tower, Et Al

My "KILLING TIME Legacy Series" books have a truly international flavour, and the first book in the series, MAN STRUGGLING WITH UMBRELLA, is no exception. The so-called Seven Sisters are not sisters at all, they are wives. The wives of a mysterious, wealthy dictator, a puppet-master, an obsessive. A man who hides behind a proxy. They came from all over the world, from all walks of life to be with him and do his work. Galina is from Ukraine. Ying Li is from China. Dagmar is from Switzerland. Sumitra is from India. Margaret is from Great Britain. Rhiannon is from Australia. And my leading lady, Maria, is from Brazil. They do secret work. Dangerous work. They have gathered together for their own safety on the top three floors of Landmark Tower, Yokohama, under the protection of their husband, a man known only as Fuji, the wondrous child born of the mountain. They don't get out much. But you may have seen them in your dreams.

There are many strong women in this internationally flavoured series. We have the Americans, Helen Curtis and Roxanne Crossley. We have the Lebanese twins Faridah and Nahwal. And of course we have Mary Rose Travers. She starts out as Maria's pen name, but she doesn't stay that way. She's an Irish poet. She lives in a quaint cottage on the coast of County Clare. Or at least she used to. She's completely out of control. The last time I saw her she was a dancer of sorts. A dabbler in all things sinister. An African-American from New Orleans.

Of course we have men too. There is Ralf, from Germany. Pablo from Argentina. Dido from Columbia. Mustafa from Turkey. Mohammad Aslam from Pakistan. Lars from Norway. Kurt from Zimbabwe. Johnny Cats Eyes from Canada. Rashid from India. Brad and Mitch and Leroy and Jake and Jesus . . . well, you can probably guess where they're all from (it's a big country). Also we have three Chinese men. And a Russian sailor. But they prefer to remain anonymous. As for Jammac, the Warrior-King of the Sea . . . that's him on the front of the book . . . well he's just a statue of a great man now, but the silver he's made of was proven to have been mined in Mexico. And how could I forget Rankashaar, the Tiger Man of Indonesia. My leading man, and my namesake, Peter, like me, hails from the northwest of England, and so does his friend Simon. You'll meet them first. In "Special Occasions". At the Brookhouse Hotel. Fallowfield. Manchester. On Christmas Eve 1973. In a dream . . .
