There’s always been something strange about Graham Sinclair and it’s something to do with his hands. Nobody knows exactly though so everyone just thinks he is weird, including the police and even worse…. girls. Then something happens that means Graham is suddenly hailed as a hero. A plane crashes and Graham rescues a baby from the rubble and a whole train of media pursuit comes into action in the form of the glamorous and questioning, Jennifer Slater. Detecting that Graham has a secret she intends to find out what! But what will be the consequences to Graham if he reveals his secret?
Nigel Richardson draws on his own experience as a journalist in writing this remarkable debut novel and considers the influence that the tabloid press has on its readership. However, it’s also an adventure story and a tale of heroism, deceit and the potential consequences of a media hyped society with elements of magical realism thrown in the mix.
Graham is a very likeable character despite his imperfections and will appeal to teens and adults alike. It comes as no surprise that this book was amongst the top 5 books of 2005 voted by the Sunday Times.
