The Reluctant Cannibals by Ian Flitcroft

Here is the final cover for the fantastic The Reluctant Cannibals by Ian Flitcroft, published by Legend Press on 1st October 2013. 

We are looking forward to revealing more details about this brilliant book, which we hope you are going to love as much as we do!

Blurb:

When a group of food-obsessed academics at Oxford University form a secret dining society, they happily devote themselves to investigating exotic and forgotten culinary treasures. Until a dish is suggested that takes them all by surprise.

Professor Arthur Plantagenet has been told he has a serious heart problem and decides that his death should not be in vain. He sets out his bizarre plan in a will, that on his death, tests the loyalty of his closest friends, the remaining members of this exclusive dining society.

A dead Japanese diplomat, police arrests and charges of grave robbing. These are just some of the challenges these culinary explorers must overcome in tackling gastronomy’s ultimate taboo: cannibalism.

Photos from the launch of Lacey's House by Joanne Graham

Here are some photos from the launch of Lacey's House by Joanne which took place in Waterstones Newton Abbott last week.

Lacey's House was the 5th winner of the Luke Bitmead Bursary. 

Lacey’s House has been described by best-selling author Maureen Lee as ‘a moving, sensitively written novel by a writer who has a magical way with words. The main characters are beautifully drawn and so real that the reader cannot help but care deeply about them.'
