ART TO DIE FOR

About the Book

This crime novel is centred around a mysterious and seemingly inpenitrable haunting gothic mansion set in 300 acres of rugged and wind-torn Cumbrian coastline. A series of unexplained deaths lead the investigating team to believe that these are related to a large drug smuggling operation, but as the investigation progresses it appears to lead to government conspiracy and a trade far more sinister.

About the Author

ART TO DIE FOR Laurence Cowley was born in Cardiff, South Wales in 1946. He will readily admit that he hadn't read a book until his middle sixties and even now, no more than a dozen crime novels. So there are no outside writing influences, they have all come from within. He is currently working on two new novels, one based loosely on a true story of the decadence, and wasted wealth of a family member and with his involvement with London's East End gangsters in the late 1950's and 60's. Laurence has also just finished writing a set of children's stories. He says that everyone should attempt writing, there is a story in every one of us....'It is very therapeutic, but as a story grips you and often takes over your life, even though it becomes all consuming, it is thoroughly enjoyable and very satisfying. I believe that this book is not about the writing style or clever words, it's about the story and I hope the reader enjoys the story'.
