Rewire

by Marc Pye (Author)

Synopsis

Josh Strachan has it all. His own electrical business, a beautiful girlfriend and a monopoly on the electrical work in the sleepy Scottish village of Glen Leven. Until London electricians, Nathan and Karl, arrive to do a rewire on the psychiatric hospital. And one by one Josh starts to lose his business, his girlfriend, his friends...and most importantly his mind. By wreaking revenge on the English outsiders, he ends up digging a hole for himself that even he can't get out of. Then bent copper PC Gordon who wants the outsiders out and has a vested interest in trying to protect Josh from the long arm of the law, knows this time Josh has gone too far.
