A COLOUR REMEMBERED
Beautiful blues
stay with you.
“As Kingfishers darted by, their tantalising turquoise triggered his superhuman receptors”
A TRUE TO LIFE STORY, SET IN THE 1980s, REFLECTING ON TODAY
Bagley Carter, skilled press photographer, has synaesthesia. He can smell colours, especially blue.
As a child he enjoyed tantalising turquoise. Now, it eludes him. He must escape dull brown Sleighton, a dying English town.
He idealises the beautiful Blue Pacific and is lured there by Krista Hecht – a seductive heiress with a complex past. Bagley arrives in Fiji, and thinks he is in paradise. Krista seduces him into her covert world of unsettling truths, carnal lust, fertility drug tests, green politics and financial crime.
Bagley’s illusions fade. Beauty hides crime. Pollution poses as perfection. Britain may be breaking, but Bagley is now tangled in Krista’s web. Will he stay to help save the most beautiful place on Earth? Or is it wrecked, foretelling recent times? Will paradise break Bagley? Is Krista Hecht so bad? Who and what is behind her?
BLUE SNIFFER might make you change ideas you did NOT want challenged. It might confirm as truth, what you thought was only fiction.
