Synopsis
In 1936, as New Year's Eve looms, the first-class passengers on the Queen Mary's voyage to New York gather in the ship's glittering Ballroom to celebrate. German banker, Max Hartmann, however, will not be joining the festivities as he is found in his first-class cabin, dead from a single gunshot wound to the head. Chief suspect is one Danny Oscar Gamble, ex-soldier, ex-policeman and heroic drinker, currently working his passage as the ship's cocktail pianist. Danny must find a way to clear himself of the charge and as he attempts to do so he navigates amongst the high and low of the ship's 3,000 passengers and crew. Fast paced and with sparkling dialogue, 'Dead Ahead' also contains a cast of truly memorable characters and brilliantly conjures up the lost world of ocean travel in the years before the Second World War. 'Dead Ahead' is the first in a series of works to feature Danny Gamble.

About the Author
Rick Maher was born in Bristol in 1957. His father was a merchant seaman, his grandfather a stevedore, and his uncle a Cunard steward, which may explain his lifelong fascination with ships. He graduated from Queens' College Cambridge in 1979, and has written plays for theatre and radio, as well as many scripts for television, including 'Relative Strangers', 'Thatcher: The Final Days', 'Pie In The Sky', 'Taggart', 'Rough Treatment', 'Lloyd & Hill', and 'Making Waves', a drama series set on a Royal Navy frigate. He is married to a criminal lawyer, has one daughter, and lives in London and Pembrokeshire.
