Paper Chase

by Hugh Alexander

Overview

A young auditor is performing an assignment when she discovers something odd – then something odder – and the more she looks the worse it seems to get. There are initially unexplained elements of paranoia and police activity, in a world where it is suddenly impossible to know who or what outlandish things to believe. The action moves through Scotland, London and the French Alps, before returning to Edinburgh for the denouement. The story is woven through with some Nigerian morality tales and it questions identity, motives, randomness and to what extent we can control our own destiny.

About the Author

Hugh Alexander was born and raised in Scotland, but then spent much of his business career in the south of England. In his fifties, he decided to give up work, moving back to Scotland (with no income) to write novels and symphonies.

Paper Chase is his first novel, but he feels that the second will be (even?) better. It involves several of the same characters and is now nearing completion.

In his earlier career, Hugh held management positions in local and central government, large commercial organisations, the largest of charities, a law firm, the police and the Defence Science&Technology Laboratory at Porton Down.

A keen climber and Alpine mountaineer, he has enjoyed expeditions to the Andes, as well as numerous trips to the European Alps, and has been a member of the Alpine Club for many years.
