No Precedent

My crossword-solving friend John Uttley has just had his second book published!

He gave me a copy of his previous book Where's Sailor Jack? when we meet at The George at the Times Crossword Championship in 2018. I enjoyed the book and its characters lot. No Precedent is a sequel to that...

"The northern grammar school pals Bob Swarbrick and Richard Shackleton are back, now facing the era of Brexit, Momentum and Donald Trump. The trials and renewals of Where’s Sailor Jack? behind them, they find themselves in a world whose faith and politics have moved beyond their sphere of influence and feel increasingly cut off from their roots. Bob, now settled with Wendy, must reconcile old memories and new children while Richard must save his family from themselves."

It's not officially launched until 1st July but has been available to buy on Amazon since the end of last month.I ordered it and it arrived today. That's my bedtime reading sorted for a while! Read more about it here.
