Om Cinema Detectives Golden

THE BIGGEST CINEMA DETECTIVES THRILLER OF THE YEAR ________________________ A desperate government clings to power; following international condemnation and a newly-independent Scotland, they are building "People's Palaces" all over England to make it seem that the country still has strength. But the civil engineering consortia tasked to build these palaces are now so suspicious of the government that they will only accept payment in Gold. Against this background, Rosa Pleck and Ken Prime of the "Cinema Detectives" are roped in by the police to support the delivery of the latest gold shipment to pay for the new Birmingham "People's Palace". The day of the gold delivery arrives. The plane carrying the gold touches down... And then... ________________________ WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING ABOUT CHRIS REYNOLDS: "To call Reynolds' comics black and white isn't quite to do them justice; they're more like black and white and black - and it's in that extra layer of darkness that his genius may be found." - Rachel Cooke - Guardian "It's all very strange and puzzling but bizarrely compelling.
