‘West Riding iconoclast’ John Lake turns his focus on Southern middle class mores in his new novel Amy and the Fox, set against the background of Cameron’s rise as Opposition Leader. When schoolteacher Amy Trent’s journalist husband Colin dies in a freak accident, his brother Max finds a mysterious videotape that Colin had kept hidden away. He must now keep it from Amy - but she knows of its existence. Before she is ready to watch what is on that tape, Amy will make rash choices and shocking discoveries that threaten to blow her world apart all over again and turn her own family against her. Perhaps the only things that can save her are a student troubled by psychic abilities and an urban fox that speaks in her dead husband’s voice.
