A Little Book of Misdeeds and Misdirection

by Alex Brightsmith

From the mysterious confidence of Cal Turner to the irrepressible insouciance of Kathryn Blake, very little is what it seems. There are stones with a secret and stones with a purpose, answers found and answers withheld, eleven little tales of lies told and lies uncovered ...
... some with more excuse than others.

About the author

Alex Brightsmith was born and raised in Bedfordshire and defies anyone who was not to point it out on a map. Bedfordshire has been claimed (or rejected) by at least five bordering regions, and its lasting legacies have been a resistance to categorisation and a fondness for sprouts.*

Alex reads indiscriminately and loves, as a bare sampling, Charteris, Chandler, Chesterton, Christie & la Carre.

Alex currently lives in Birmingham, commutes reluctantly, gardens and bakes erratically, and writes thrillers, fantasy and flash fiction.

Alex's two published novels, Viennese Waltz and Find the Lady, are thrillers featuring the pickpocket, cat burglar, and potential government employee Kathryn Blake.

*You’ll know you’re in Bedfordshire when you can smell the sprouts; you’ll know your companion is a local if they can’t.
