A brief synopsis…

 

 

Set in the 1990’s, ‘Train of Events’ is a gritty, ‘Newcastle Noir’ thriller in the mould of ‘Get Carter’. It pulls no punches in its lively description of Gangsters, Policemen & Detectives, Journalists and greedy citizens.  The lifestyles are accurately rendered and we readers hold our breath as the scenes march on to a conclusion. Come with Bill Dawson for a trip to the underworld you won’t forget in a hurry.
