What would it be like to have no feelings? No desire, no anger, no pleasure? Behold Martin Dash. A man who possesses stunning features that captivate all who encounter him but is also cursed with a medical condition that means he has no emotion to give in return. But one woman is convinced that there is something behind the apparently blank facade and sets out on a dark trail to uncover the haunted past that holds the key to the mystery; a journey that takes in politics, criminal finance, London’s neo-burlesque scene and, finally … murder. MARTIN DASH is the first book of a trilogy that relates the bizarre experiences of a young man whose life was always destined to be terrifying as well as exceptional. It’s a humdinger of a first novel. Main characters who bounce off each other from the start. An intriguing romance - or is it? This story keeps you guessing against a backdrop of money, legal wrangles and political grey areas. Definitely one for the times we live in. - Pamela Brough Sandiford, author of award winning The Burma Play. I found it impossible to put down and am anxiously waiting for Bailey to complete the next book in the trilogy so that I can discover what happens to the characters I grew to know and like so much. Highly recommended. - Rick Ford, bestselling author of The Faradawn Trilogy.
