Rockdown in Lockdown

Violet Winters was a master criminal. A one-woman crimewave. Until lockdown happened. Now she's stuck in the house catching up on box sets and ordering crap off the internet.

And then she finds out about The Lakehouse. A former rehab facility, the residents have been thrown out and replaced with a roll-call of some of the most dangerously stupid celebrities in this hemisphere all indulging in a torrent of excess while the rest of the world cowers in their beds.

And that doesn't sit well with Violet.

At the centre of the The Lakehouse is a vault and inside... the combined riches of every one of these over-privileged idiots. Violet hatches a cunning plan to pull off an audacious robbery and begins by planting a man on the inside.

But when does anything ever go to plan?

With a social media starlet hell-bent on revealing Violet's identity to her millions of followers and a deranged MMA fighter on their trail things rapidly go from bad to worse.

If she can pull off the world's only socially-distanced heist, it will be the stuff of legend.

If she can't she might very well end up floating face-down in the lake.

Rockdown in Lockdown is the latest book in the Kilchester series. It mixes high-octane heist shenanigans with sharp, surreal wit.

"Rockdown in Lockdown is the perfect pick-me-up for these strange times. It's not only a cracking crime caper but its potshots at vacuous celebrities, influencers and our political rulers all hit the target with a satisfying thwack. Guaranteed to put a grin on your face!"

Trevor Wood, author of 'The Man on the Street'

"Lockdown? Pah! That's not going to stop the Kilchester crew in this highly entertaining caper to pull off the heist of the pandemic, bazooka and all!"
