The Whitchurch Papers
by Hugh Hayes

Twenty-seven-year-old Agnes Janssen moves to a run-down coastal town to observe and perhaps befriend an old man. Felix. He’s her biological father. She knows it; he doesn't. Before Agnes can decide whether to tell him, they’re dragged into a deadly political conspiracy rooted in Felix's past. Set in a near-future dystopian England, The Celestial Mechanic is a dark, comic story about the past, the present, and the inconvenient persistence of truth.
