The Sheriff of Geneva

by Richard Williams

Overview

A cache of Venezuelan gold bullion is hijacked deep in the Swiss countryside en route to safekeeping in a bank vault, the heist orchestrated by the elusive Mr Bonjour, an international man of mystery and villain. Through a series of events, the gold ends up not in Bonjour’s hands, but in the grease separator of the newly opened Gourmet Burger Factory restaurant in downtown Geneva. The staff, a motley crew of young strays and disparate characters, have a choice – keep the bullion safe for Bonjour’s imminent arrival, or take the loot and run, knowing the elusive villain may already be amongst them. ‘A cast of larger-than-life characters and outrageous villains star in this fast-paced black comedy laced with heinous crimes and twisted retribution.’ DAREN KING , AUTHOR OF BOXY AN STAR AND BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST

About the Author

Richard Williams was raised on a farm in north Pembrokeshire and lived for a number of years in Sydney, Australia, in his early twenties. Later, following a degree and master’s degree in Development Studies from Exeter University and LSE respectively, Richard worked as a technical writer at the newly created Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria, in Geneva, Switzerland. In later years, Richard moved into the restaurant industry, co-founding Switzerland’s Holy Cow! Gourmet Burger Company, the Blackbird Restaurant Group and Cardiff’s The Grazing Shed. His ongoing food industry work has been balanced more recently with creative writing courses with Anjali Joseph and Monique Roffey (UEA) and his current mentor, Daren King. Richard’s debut novel, Mostyn Thomas and the Big Rave, was published by Graffeg in 2018. The Sheriff of Geneva is Richard’s second novel.
