A moonlit castle in a remote part of fourteenth century Cornwall provides a beguiling setting for a secret love tryst where passion, selfishness and betrayal are all too familiar. But things are far from what they seem. Then, there’s an elderly lady who idolises her husband and the lifestyle they both lead, a self-assured lawyer who believes he has successfully buried a past that would otherwise come back to haunt him, a British agent desperate to escape the abhorrent treatment dealt by the hands of his captors, a business owner weaving a web of deceit, a young estate agent who believes he has finally overcome his bad luck, and the disappearance of a timid schoolboy that’s hard to fathom.The Midnight Tryst and Other Short Stories presents a series of mystifying and enchanting vignettes that transform reality into dark worlds of supposition and make-believe, guaranteed to keep you guessing - incorrectly - until the final pages.
