Blue Chalk, Red Blood, White Lightning competition

Treat yourself to a page-turner from master of cold war espionage fiction and Chipping Sodbury resident David Brierley.

David's offering you the chance to win a signed copy of his latest tale of intrigue and suspense: Blue Chalk, Red Blood, White Lightning. To enter the draw, simply send us your details below.

A clipping from a Tunisian newspaper received through the post: a dead-man’s outline on a North African backstreet – an outline drawn in blue chalk. Matt Clough is missing, presumed dead. Presumed by everyone but his lover, Lucija, who recruits Oxford journalist Baz Potter to help her track him down.

In the third book of the thrilling Dead Hand trilogy, David Brierley brings together characters from Dead Man Telling Tales and Budapest Hand in a lightning-fast tale of old spies and new sins. Baz and Lucija must follow Matt’s trail to expose a Russian spy at the heart of British intelligence and foil Moscow’s latest plot. A trail marked out in blue chalk, and stained red with blood.

David Brierley has written fifteen novels set in different countries, allowing him to indulge his passion for travel in the name of research. The Whodunit Guide to Crime, Suspense and Spy Fiction said his books "showed a mind of considerable intelligence, sharp observation of contemporary mores in Europe and Britain and something of the early Le Carré mould".

If you're not the lucky winner this time, you can find out more about David and buy copies of his novels here: www.fantasticfiction.com/b/david-brierley.
