I, Phone
In the not too distant future, Alice Wooster’s speed-dating goes so disastrously wrong that she ends up framed for murder. On the run from the police, a mysterious cult of magic users and intelligent spam, the situation looks desperate. Her only hope to save herself, clear her name and buy more clothes lies with her trusty friend and ally: the obsolete, second-hand phone in an unfashionable colour that framed her in the first place.
The phone tells its own story as events build to a climactic battle that will decide the fate of augmented, virtual and real worlds.
______
“Excellent novel – by turns strikingly original, laugh–out–loud funny and thought provoking.”
“Want to read it again soon…”
“A thoughtful, tense and funny look at a future that seems to be already upon us.”

In the near future, no-one’s thoughts are their own and privacy is a thing of the past. Everyone shares their lives in the global social media network and pre-meditated crime is no longer possible.
So when Detective Oliver Braddon finds a dead body, the victim of a planned murder, he is plunged into a dangerous investigation, and forced to use unorthodox means, as he tracks down a murderer, who can kill without thinking.
