David Ambrose Coincidence Pbk published May 2003 by Pocket Books at £6.99 ISBN: 0743115736

Coincidence, synchronicity and the meaning of life - a thumping good read!

George Daly is a non-fiction writer. He writes books `that occupy a kind of no-man's-land between real science and fantastical speculation.' On the day of his father's death he comes up with his next book idea: coincidence. He has not thought of the ways in which this will change his life and understanding of reality. From the discovery of a `twin' brother to the bombshell of his wife's infidelity; from his death at the hands of his twin's enemies to his return and involvement in murders.
David Ambrose has written a fast-forward thriller that plays with synchronicity and reality - truly a novel for the new millennium.

David Ambrose began his career screen-writing for Orson Welles. He read law at Oxford and has worked internationally in theatre, television and film. His highly acclaimed novels, The Man Who Turned Into Himself, Mother of God, Superstition and The Discrete Charm of Charlie Monk, and a collection of short stories, Hollywood Lies, are all available. He lives in the South of France.

See Review by Bernard Knight ex Home Office Pathologist and author of the highly acclaimed Crowner John series

The discovery of a butchered pig deliberately left in a local mosque is the catalyst which ignites the simmering racial tension in inner-city Leicester into open warfare. As the police come under fire for their inappropriate response, and the violence starts to escalate, mixed-race Inspector Marjorie (Mo) Akanbai finds herself made into a convenient scapegoat. In addition to watching her painstaking community-relations police work go up in smoke and with her emotional life in crisis, Mo is faced with a terrified Serbian asylum seeker, the brutal murder of an Asian factory owner, a gang of white supremacists, a counterfeit CD scam and an unplanned pregnancy.
