A companion and introduction to Chancery Stone's DANNY Quadrilogy

With yet another corpse on their hands, the Jackson Moores decide to do the one thing they're good at, make more trouble for themselves. On the run, and desperate to evade the law, they decide to take the law with them, in the shape of an old friend. Hardly have the wheels hit the tarmac before the squabbling and in-fighting starts. Ever ones to embrace the law of three, they proceed to use the tortured dynamics of their little family-on-wheels to persecute and humiliate each other. But this time something has changed. This time there is a significance to the set-up that is oddly revealing, and more than a little reminiscent of their relationship with Ian, their bête noir, ever-present in his guise as Banquo's ghost. Perhaps stirred by Macbethian guilt, life on the road becomes one long confessional, and as the wheels spin and the race gets narrower and tighter, truths come out that can no longer be hidden, not even by the sinister, hypnotic shadow-light of nights spun out across the endless motorways of Britain. Darker, more disturbing and more revelatory than anything that has gone before, DANNY 2.3 is the final part of this journey for our heroes. In more ways than one...

The Jackson Moores have been tilling the land of Hope House Farm on the West Coast of Cumbria for many generations, but they have been harbouring a dangerous history of dark and sinister secrets for far longer: cancerous secrets, that have slowly eaten away at their family, their sanity and their very existence. Nemesis comes in the shape of P.C. James Henderson, when he first spies Danny - youngest son of the family - on his way to commit a crime - or at least to conceal one. This pivotal moment sets Henderson on a doomed road of infatuation and addiction, ending in ruin and, ultimately, death. For Danny is no ordinary boy and he belongs to no ordinary family. Until now, the Jackson Moores have managed to keep their skeletons firmly inside the closet, but when Henderson unwittingly uncovers their twisted House of Usher, the whole rotten construct starts to sink into the mire, dragging everyone with it in a spectacular display of ruthless revenge.

Danny 1.0 - Hope House

Die Schwarze Engel - the mythical black angel of death, of evil, of sorrow. Or of something darker than all three... Danny has been missing for six years, when one night, drunk and confused, Stephen thinks he sees him reflected in a bar mirror, like an apparition from the past. But surely he has imagined it? Danny haloed and burning above him like an avenging angel. Danny rescuing him from a midnight street in a sinister, dark car. Danny smelling as sweet as lemons and dressed all in black silk, as dry and caustic as Lucifer himself. Those drunken visions can't be true, can they? But Rab believes they must be, Stephen fears they might be, and Conley knows they are. Danny is back. And now there is one overriding question burning in all their minds. What has he been doing during those mysterious missing years? And with whom? Vulnerable, lost, and deep in mourning, Danny is ripe for the picking. But that shadowy other is ever-present, like an unspoken third, a revenant determined to be at the party, ruining their fun. Is the 'Schwarze Engel' real, or just a figment of Danny's diseased imagination? And, more importantly, can anyone finally set him free from it?

Set in the avant-garde world of modern ballet, Delaney is a story of desire, greed and ambition amidst the sweaty bodies, nudity and backstabbing of a gay contemporary dance company.   Frank Delaney is a street lad training to be a boxer when he is seduced into dancing Nijinsky's most famous role: L'après-midi d'un Faune.  But company director, Jonathan Delmore, has plans for Delaney that don't include just dancing, and intrigue, jealousy and pure unashamed lust quickly weave themselves into an ever-tightening web around our intrepid hero.
