Colin Baker: Gallimaufry Short Story Collection

 

Pre-order a SIGNED Copy

Colin Baker is a prolific writer. Here, for the first time, is a collection of his short stories which deal in subjects as diverse as murder, mystery, true love, ingenuity, despair and farcical misunderstandings, with a hint of horror here and there as well as some insight into the minds of some unusual people. If you like your stories with a twist there are some surprises and shocks to be found.

Without Due Care
A car thief gets more than exoected when he steals the most beautiful car he has ever seen

Rosita
Ramon and Rosita it is a special day for which the whole of their lives as devout Catholics have been a preparation.

Carter's First Case
When Carter Battersby told the Job Centre he wanted to be a Private Detective he thought that would succesfully protect him from the inconvenience of employment for the forseeable future. He was wrong.

Poison Pen
Jeffery Marsh was a drama critic - a job he executed with savage relish to the detriment of many a career until his untimely demise. Motives to kill Jeffery abounded - but opportunity? That was a different matter.

Ill Gotten Gains
After serving a twelve year stretch for Robbery with Violence, Barney McAteer is released and seems determined to put his criminal past behind him Others however make it difficult for him to go straight.

A Likely Story
A smug and implacably harsh magistrate finds himself in a situation where he has to radically re-appraise his former attitudes.

Hamlet's Ghost
It was perhaps not a good idea to stage two amateur productions in adjacent halls on the same night - particularly when those productions were Hamlet and Jack and the Beanstalk.

A Matter of Form
Martin didn't want to work in the solicitors' office - but his father decided otherwise. However Martin's first day proved more interesting than he had expected.

This is a truly diverse collection of short stories - something for everyone. There are 10 original stories, and a further 3 about the sixth incarnation of Doctor Who - as played by Colin in the mid-eighties, including a key moment in the life of his old friend Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart and a deft piece of negotiation by the Doctor with a very welcome result for the planet Earth.
