Diamond Dogs

Named after David Bowie's celebrated seventies album, itself influenced by William Burrough's 'cut-up' writing method, this novel is both a thriller and an unconventional love story. Set against the glitter of Las Vegas and the isolation of Nevada, "Diamond Dogs" is a portrayal of a father and son, whose distant relationship is haunted by the past, and virtually unspoken. A local murder enquiry in which the son is questioned, a cover-up by his father, Chief of Police, and an outsider intent on discovering the truth, sets an edgy, taut pace to this page-turner. As the invstigation slowly closes in, the son anxiously questions his father's motives and his own sanity; a showdown exposes the truth, with cataclysmic consequences.
