Time is running out.
Retired university professor R.I. Penny has always had a knack for finding trouble, and when an old friend is killed - the suspects leaving behind little more than the graffitied word 'grass' - he can't help but get involved in the investigation.
But the gates of hell don't stay closed for long, and as Penny digs deeper into Codger's mysterious death, sinister goings on come to light.
With local thugs, far-right politicians, and even the police on his tail, will Penny survive long enough to uncover the truth?
Ronnie is based in Yorkshire, and after spending his youth working in factories and chemical plants, he pursued academia in his thirties, and completed an MA in art history and critical theory, which he followed with his DPhil. He then moved to Leeds to teach Art History and became a teaching fellow. At 58 he resigned and became a gardener, until he was in his late 60s. He is now an author, and plays, writes and records music in a hobbyist capacity.
