Not Exactly True OUT WINTER 2022-23!
Here’s what Peter Rowlands says about Not Exactly True on his own website, www.peterrowlands.com.
A failing truck bodybuilding business seems on the brink of collapse. Journalist Mike Stanhope reports the story – and finds himself facing a libel suit. Anxious to defend himself, he heads for the country town where the company is based, but finds a series of contradictions. The factory is packed with work, and dozens of new truck chassis are arrayed in the field behind, apparently waiting to have bodies build on them; yet he’s still hearing rumours of imminent collapse. Can he believe his eyes, or is he dealing with a massive deception? If so, how has it been done – and why?
Trish, the factory owner’s engaging but enigmatic daughter, seems willing to help him, but what is her real agenda? Mike finds himself reluctantly drawn to her, but fears for his relationship with his absent girlfriend Sam, who is temporarily overseas.
To add to his troubles, Mike thinks he’s found a dead body in a wood … but then it vanishes. Is it some trick to thwart his investigation, or part of a more sinister plot?
Meanwhile, a chance request for advice on photo restoration alerts Mike to a bigger mystery in the town. It promises to give him a major scoop; but will he be allowed to publish it?
