Description

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. Reynolds' stark black and white frames stop you in your tracks. Time and again you find yourself thinking: just what is it exactly that I'm looking at?" - Bookmunch "The stories are easy to consume but are tantalizingly difficult to characterize." - The Paris Review "It is easy, if a little glib, to situate Reynolds' work in the canon of what we might call paranoiac modernism: there's a pinch of David Lynch in it, a spoonful of Edward Hopper, a dash of Ballard, Kafka, and Bruno Schulz. Characters' memories and identities splinter, or elide." - Keith Miller - TLS "Expect the black and white artwork to suck you into a parallel world that is stripped down to dichotomies and ideals, and the dialogue and direction to conjure a billion questions within you that will unfortunately never find answers in the long run." - Lashaan Balasingam - Bookidote WHO ARE THE CINEMA DETECTIVES? ROSA PLECK is a native daughter of Birmingham, UK. She joined "Prime Services", also known as the "Cinema Detectives" agency, straight out of school. KEN PRIME used to be a typical West Midlands businessman, but since he quit sales and took up detecting, his life has taken a crazier turn. WHY "CINEMA DETECTIVES"? Because of Ken Prime's best business idea: Why not make a series of films based on his most amazing cases? FOLLOW THE CINEMA DETECTIVES NOW
