In the Cold Light of Day is officially published on
26th October
in Kindle version.
Paper back to follow in New Year.
Bertie
Costain has worked hard all his life in the building trade and now owns his own
London-based company. In 1967, approaching fifty and still unmarried he enjoys
a playboy lifestyle, but when he meets Kitty, an attractive, wealthy widow ten
years his senior, he swiftly proposes.
Swept
off her feet, Kitty adores him. The happy couple seem to have it all, but
Bertie has a secret. Kitty has no idea their home is mortgaged to the hilt, or
that the many expensive gifts he brings her come out of his winnings at
roulette. Proud of his apparent success
and ignorant of his gambling addiction, she happily loans him large sums of
money, ostensibly for his business.
Convinced
with each spin of the wheel that his run of bad luck will change, Bertie
gambles for increasingly high stakes, falling deeper and deeper into debt
until, facing financial ruin and with nowhere to turn, he resorts to fraud. As
their lives begin to unravel, Kitty learns the horrifying truth.
In
the cold light of day can their love survive the pain and destruction Bertie’s
addiction has wrought?
An exciting day!
Thank you lovely reader for stopping by.
I'll be back on 26th!
Hugs
