About the book

​

Trouble Brewing is a multi layered thriller. At its heart is a story about

 

unintended consequences  and the price of doing good in a morally

 

complex society.  Jake Maddison runs his own brewery and he leads a

 

contented life. He is living in a fool's paradise when he makes an important

 

discovery and his whole world is turned upside down.  His checkered past

 

brings him up against an old foe.  When his partner threatens to leave him

 

he decides to act. He resorts to an unorthodox and spectacular course of

 

action which shakes the sleepy market town of Stroud to its core.  His

 

action brings him into conflict with the West Midlands Police Force.

 

Further conflict is unavoidable when the public gets involved. 

​

If he plays this right - everyone stands to benefit. If he gets things wrong

 

there could be dire social consequences.
