    About this ebook

    Sylvia Parker is sent to the Costa del Sol to interview Hollywood heartthrob Nicholas Platt for The News. It’s a glamorous assignment but one that leads to a quarrel with boyfriend Christopher, who wants Sylvia to stay in London. Waiting to board her early-morning flight to Malaga, Sylvia regrets ending a long and beautiful romance. In Spain, photographer Santiago offers the prospect of consolation, but not before Sylvia is inadvertently plunged into an international conspiracy involving Platt and his underworld associate Antonio Esperanza. Sylvia gets a bigger scoop than she’d bargained for and is kidnapped for her pains. Santiago and Christopher turn out to be remarkably good in a crisis.

      Karl Stead, poet, critic, fiction writer and memoirist, keeps saying he has been told he could cark it at any moment – a matter of his wonky heart – then he doesn’t cark it at any moment. He is 88. I think he will go on not carking it until he is 99,
