The Dogs of Avarice

Greed is an emotion, but avarice is a behaviour.

Sometimes those who want too much end up with

nothing at all. Stephen and Tony have hidden their

past lives for a decade. They soon discover that they

are not the only ones who have secrets. Matty and

Christina, in an Anglo-Calabrian marriage, are driven

by a desire to prove that they are successful.

Christina's loyalty draws them back to the clutches of

her family in Italy.

Featuring lorry theft, money-laundering, bribery,

witness protection, people smuggling, drugs and

family dynamics, this story plays out in the dark and

brooding Morecambe Bay, Glasgow, and seductive

Catanzaro. Events force everyone to reflect on what

they want from life.
