Shadow Box

  A gripping, fast-paced thriller that pulls no punches.

  Peter Cocks has had a long and varied career in the creative arts. He has been an interior designer, a living painting, a television performer and writer (writing, among other things, Basil Brush’s gags), a hypnotist and a novelist. Along with bestselling crime author Mark Billingham he wrote Triskellion, a trilogy of novels for young adults, under the pseudonym Will Peterson.

  Peter divides his time between writing, making pictures and producing cabaret shows on the south coast – and recently one in China. Shadow Box is the third in his series of Eddie Savage thrillers.
