Washed-up journalist Anthony Carver is given one last assignment, to interview Alfredo Ortega, the dying revolutionary leader of the island of San Joaquin. Ortega, with iconic guerrilla Christo at his side, had led the famous rebellion decades ago. By the time Carver lands, Ortega is dead. Carver tracks down firebrand freedom fighter Consuela Ramirez, hoping to learn more about a rumour that a second revolution is brewing in the hill above the island's capital, Santiago. Falling in with Consuela's rebels, Carver must decide where his loyalties lie and to what lengths he will go not only for a story, but for love. I live in Suffolk, UK and work as a magazine journalist. My first novel, 'The Snake Oil Dickens Man' was published by 4th Estate in 1998. 'The Edge of the Crowd' was published – also by 4th Estate - in 2001. My new e-book is a comic novel called 'Tortoise'.
