Eighteen Months
Six women. One man. Never longer than eighteen months.
Chris Harvey has fallen in love six times, completely, and lost them all. A switchboard girl from Brixham. A brilliant night operator in snowbound Stafford. A network engineer in the Potteries. A woman on a bridge in Paris. Each time, something comes: a letter, a job, a train. Each time, eighteen months.
Is it a curse? Or is somebody counting?
From the telephone exchanges of the seventies to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the football stadiums of South-East Asia, a sweeping story of love, espionage and loss, and of a death on Berry Head that one young constable will not call an accident.
