What could possibly go wrong when wealthy young banker David Eden decides to leave his luxurious City lifestyle and set himself up as a country gent?
Well, hereditary landowner the Honourable Amanda Maidbine, for a start. The two clash and the stage is set for an epic struggle involving wild boar hunting, truffle pigs, a lost Anglo-Saxon treasure and a slapstick court case.
Mix in an immigration department raid and a police siege for good measure and we have all the ingredients for a rip-roaring, darkly comic novel. Oh, we almost forgot there’s a corrupt Member of Parliament and his metal detecting twin brother too.
Mark Wilsher draws the characters superbly in the best traditions of well-observed English comedic writing. It’s the first of his Doome trilogy and next year Talking Stick will be offering readers his intriguingly titled sequel SPARKLING DOOME.
