Cold Magenta

Tired of your job? Got a great hobby but neither the time nor the money to pursue it properly? Then read on and meet four young men who solve the problem. Well sort of... It takes talent to rob Edinburgh's most prestigious bank but the robbery is the easy bit... Cold Magenta intertwines two stories surrounding an unusual bank robbery. Initially it focuses on the young men who dream up and carry out the crime before developing a parallel tale of the middle aged detective who aims to solve it. It brings out the frustrations and joys of many young men as well as the angst and challenges inherent in middle age. Cold Magenta is a warm blend of humour, romance and urban realism seasoned with some light philosophical forays. It contains strong language which makes it unsuitable for readers under 16.
