KEVAN'S BOOKS
TO BE FRANK
Fifty-something newspaper columnist, Frank Savage, pens a controversial piece calling for dogs and babies to be banned from cafés as his swansong to journalism. Instead of being dismissed, the column catapults him to stardom—and into further trouble.
On a night out, Frank spots his arch-enemy, Brewster, 56—an apparently reformed racist, homophobic football hooligan turned drug dealer, now a respected figure in the local community—whom he blames for his brother’s death.
This coincides with the arrival of his eldest daughter, Naomi, whom Frank hasn’t seen for years. A genius with numbers, she works for an organised crime syndicate in London, headed by the Wise One, but is desperate to break free and go straight. The Syndicate places Naomi in the seaside town of Portobello, Edinburgh, to work alongside Brewster, overseeing their money laundering operation.
As Naomi and Frank grow closer and begin to heal old wounds, neither realises they are both hiding secrets that would devastate the other.

Engaged from start to finish!
I was engaged from start to finish and enjoyed the suspenseful atmosphere that I was looking for and glad it had that feel. The characters were so well written and enjoyed the overall journey with them. Kevan Christie has a strong writing style and was glad I got to read this.

A real treat!
First things first: I was genuinely taken to Edinburgh reading this. This book was a real treat, controversial sure, hilarious absolutely, and so well written. The words feel like art and there isn’t a page you want to stop at. A true joy and I cannot wait for more.
