Tales In The Headlights: A Switchback Stories Collection

FOURTEEN TALES WITH A TWIST

Just as headlights cast their beam on the unexpected, these tales lead to hidden places of mystery, suspense and surprise:
-the body of a local man is found in a deserted field. Suspicion falls on a travelling gypsy fair and the mysterious tarot reader who has now vanished. As anger in the country town explodes, detectives Carmichael and Talbot are faced with a twisting maze of clues and a killer poised to strike again;
-An idyllic river, a keen fisherman who can’t swim, a sandbank, and a selfish executive with a flawless plan for the perfect murder. Sometimes it’s the details you can’t see that bring the most unlikely result;
-A legendary country rock musician arrives in a small town to join an unknown band. Is he simply seeking a simple life away from the bright lights – or is there another side to his story that no-one would ever suspect?;
-Two sisters visit their wealthy aunt on her secluded estate. One has murder on her mind. A sudden switch will change the game – and the winner;
-A young boy goes against his town’s warning and sneaks onto a secluded estate. Have all the scary stories been a myth? Or does something sinister lurk beyond these groves of trees?
Fourteen stories in all: each follows a switchback road of twists and turns.
