Poor Table Manners cover

Dawson and Lucy hit Cape Town… and Cape Town hits back

When their new employer dies in a suspicious road accident and his brother, a South African government lawyer disappears in Cape Town, Dawson and Lucy are recalled to MI6. For once their mission is straightforward: liaise with Rebecca Erasmus of South African State Security and find the missing lawyer. Then Rebecca is kidnapped. Surely this has nothing to do with the forthcoming presidential election and the vengeful Chinese assassin in town…

Why are Dawson and Lucy held up at gunpoint on Table Mountain?

Why is a South African presidential candidate hiding in a vineyard?

How are the CIA and Chinese involved?

Can you fly a helicopter without scooping some goats up for the ride?

And what part does dreadful cooking have to play in proceedings?

Praise for the Dawson and Lucy Series:
"A curiously magical thriller with suburban subterfuge and sparkle." -- Helen Lederer, comedy author, actress and founder of the Comedy Women in Print Prize

"This is a thriller, a chase, a buddy story, a mystery [...] all smoothly told with hugely engaging characters, and rips along at a hectic pace." -- Adrian Magson, author of Hostile State

"My goodness! What a hilarious, energetic and entertaining roller-coaster of a read this is. The pace never lets up." -- Sue Clark, author of Note to Boy
