It Will Be Quick by Karl Drinkwater
A single decision can save - or ruin - a life.
An opportunistic baby theft by a young woman in pain. Two strangers shipwrecked on a lifeless rock, unable to speak the same language. A remote cycling holiday descends into terror. One woman seeks the courage to destroy her life. A miracle unites a community, and teenagers take a stand against hypocrisy.
Karl Drinkwater presents characters to root for - and characters to dread - in sixteen tales of humanity, endurance, and spirit.
Varied contemporary fiction that mixes the darkness of Ian McEwan, the human complexities of Alice Munro, and the psychological suspense of Shirley Jackson.
Drinkwater, Karl: - Karl Drinkwater writes thrilling SF, suspenseful horror, and contemporary literary fiction. Whichever you pick you'll find interesting and authentic characters, clever and compelling plots, and believable worlds. Karl has lived in many places but now calls Scotland his home. He's an ex-librarian with degrees in English, Classics, and Information Science. He also studied astrophysics for a year at university, surprising himself by winning a prize for Outstanding Performance. When he isn't writing he loves guitars, exercise, computer and board games, nature, and vegan cake. Not necessarily in that order.
