The Amber Maze by Christopher Bowden
While staying in a Dorset
cottage, Hugh Mullion finds a mysterious key down the side of an
antique chair. No one can say how long the key has been there or
what it opens.
Hugh’s
search for answers will unlock the secrets of the troubled life of a
talented artist, destined to be hailed a neglected genius fifty years
too late. And no secret is darker than that of The Amber Maze, from
whose malign influence he never escaped.
The
trail takes Hugh from Edwardian Oxfordshire to 1960s Camden Town,
where the ghosts of the past are finally laid to rest.
Delicately
crafted noir
fiction at its best.
Christopher Bowden lives in south London. The Amber Maze
is the sixth of his colour-themed novels, which have been praised
variously by Andrew Marr, Julian Fellowes, Sir Derek Jacobi, and
Shena Mackay.
