The Kebab King

Private Investigator Tommy Rowan ekes out an existence spying on the adulterous partners of his clients. A job for which he is well suited: he's practically invisible. His next client is faded 80's popstar and botox enthusiast Marty Del Rio, a local lad done good, who pays him to track down his wayward stepdaughter. Has she been kidnapped? Murdered? And whatever happened, does it have anything to do with Kenny Gibson, bar owner and loan shark, to whom Tommy already owes money? To complicate matters, Tommy's ex is back in town and everyone - even best mate Chris - seems to be acting weird. Rowan needs to summon up all his investigative skills to find the girl and make some money before he goes under, but like a kebab with hot chili sauce, very little happens in life without a little pain... The Kebab King was the winner of a New Writing North 'Northern Promise' award for writing.
