Glitterballs of Fire

The band has split, the Council is set against them, and a law firm founded by undertakers looms larger than should really be allowed.

A missing friend. A sadly-departed dad. And a surprisingly acidic Town Council. Welcome to Book Two of the Dawlish Trilogy.

Victory over Site B was supposed to be the end of it. But Oscar and crew barely have time for a quiet celebratory pint before their friend, Pete “Cheeky” Raskill, vanishes, taking the password to the town’s salvation with him.

With everything under threat yet again, the stakes are exactly as high as before. Now it’s up to Oscar to untangle the mystery, fending off old enemies along the way, including an overly obstructive Town Council, and a law firm founded by undertakers.

When his long-deceased father casually strolls back into town, Oscar realises the universe isn’t just playing games with him… it’s actively cheating.

As The NewK’s “experimental” art scene adds a fresh layer of absurdity to the mix, something is about to break in their fractured community… and this time, the chaos might be permanent.

The second instalment in a series of hilariously absurd, dry-witted British comedy novels.

  • Family, friendship, and fighting larger powers.
  • An unhinged conspiracy with a side of coastal chaos.
  • For fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and anyone who’s ever dealt with a difficult Town Council or militant reception staff.
