Long Overdue by Patrick Forsyth
By his own admission, Philip is living a humdrum life in the Essex coastal town of Maldon. His new boss at the town library is a pain in the neck, making even the job he loves difficult, and he longs for something to kick start him out of what he admits is a bit of a rut. Soon after a new and unexpected friendship begins he determines to make some changes. Then one day his routine walk to work has him finding a dead body, involved with the police and feeling he must help his new friend by investigating a mystery from years past. As events following the death carry him along, an abandoned sailing boat, half a letter and a surprising alliance sees him seeking to unravel the mystery of a missing person. He quickly realises that dialling the emergency services that spring morning is leading to changes that will affect his life, his job and his future as well as having him travel abroad and make some surprisingly impulsive decisions.
Patrick Forsyth has worked for many years as a business consultant and management trainer. Linked to this he is the author of innumerable articles and more than fifty successful business and management, personal development, self-help and career books (for example, Detox your career and Manage your boss). In recent years his writing has expanded into broader areas. He has had a humorous book published about life in the office jungle, Surviving office politics (Marshall Cavendish). In addition, he has had short stories published and also writes about writing for Writing Magazine for which he also pens a monthly column. He first travelled to South East Asia some twenty-five years ago, and has visited regularly-especially to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand-for both work and pleasure ever since. His first book of travel writing-First class at last!-is a light-hearted account describing a journey on the Eastern & Oriental Express, the luxury train that runs from Singapore to Bangkok. This was well reviewed, one reviewer calling it ...lively, witty and wry. He lives in the United Kingdom, in Maldon in Essex, where he writes looking out over the River Blackwater.
