Turnaround

As a contented family man with a good job, Peter Warren never expected to find himself behind bars. But confronting an intruder in his home one dark night lands him on the wrong side of the law and everything starts to dramatically spiral out of control. Even his beloved Lara begins to doubt him. Determined to get his life back and take revenge on the man he holds responsible for his downfall, Peter doesn’t realise his actions may have dangerous and unforeseen repercussions, and not only for himself. Will he be able to turn his life around and find happiness again or will the cost to himself and those he loves be too high?

The author, Carole Lees, writes under the pen name C J Lees. Originally from rural Hertfordshire in the UK, she has lived in South-west France with her husband since 2001 and works in the private sector teaching English and French. Always fascinated by the way our lives can twist and turn in totally unforeseen ways just because of one decision or action, she was inspired to write her first novel, "Your Number's Up", which explores the challenges we all face in life and the unforeseen repercussions of temptation in all its many forms. Since then she has written a second book, "Turnaround", questioning how far we will go when we believe that those we love are under threat and whether our actions can always justify the means.
