Description

Death or Glory? Who wins? Who survives? Who dies? 

Two suicidal strangers, failing actor Owen and traumatised Ukrainian refugee Becky, postpone death on a bridge to honey-trap men. They make easy money. Until they reach Manchester. A blackmailer dies on Becky in a hotel room. Owen, seeing mega pound signs, steals the dead man’s identity to con a quarter of million quid from a brain-damaged hero’s trust fund. His impersonation is good, but doesn’t fool a cynical cop, or the deceased’s crazy self-harming granddaughter. Putin’s pals are in the city too, demanding the blackmailer’s sex-pest list with menaces. Can Owen and Becky rediscover their humanity before they drown in a sea of  corruption and criminality?

A Note From the Publisher

After the Bridge is a crime thriller with a fatalistic post modern ironic worldview that embraces cynicism and optimism. After the Bridge is a very dark story, but at the same time offers positive outcomes if people can retain or rediscover their humanity.

Reviews can be short.

Numbers rather than the quality of reviews count.

Cheers.

Emma Haughton, author of 'The Dark’ and 'The Sanctuary’.

‘In a very noir world, Andrew Field offers us a very noir novel.’

The Irresponsible Reader

‘After The Bridge is consistently entertaining with a lively wit and inventive energy sustained throughout. Particularly appealing is the portrayal of strong women and …. sympathetic characters despite their excesses and flaws.’

Martin Fletcher, editor 

‘Much to admire.’

Stephanie Glencross, editor, literary agent

‘A cleverly constructed tale, boasting an intricate interweave of plot strands and a cast of off-beat, unpredictable and jump-off-the-page realistic characters. Looming over it all is Manchester itself, and the setting is so well realised you can almost smell the dank canal-side air.’

Sandra Mangan, Crime Fiction Lover

‘What a wild ride.’

Anne Foster, GoodReads Reviewer

‘This is a rocket-powered ride, totally gripping from beginning to end.’
