Now Irene insists her son must visit her for three months, to the dismay of Bertie, his father Stuart and his grandmother Nicola. Earlier stand alone novels include 'La’s Orchestra Saves the World' and 'Trains and Lovers: A Hearts Journey'.

Ultimately, it falls to Bertie’s best friend, Ranald Braveheart MacPherson, to rescue Bertie, and that involves theft from a safe, a train journey, defenestration and close contact with ewes.
