The Silver Skeleton

Michael Preston

4.9/5 (12602 ratings)

Description:In the mid-1980s, a local bully and petty criminal is kicked unconscious late one night in a Birmingham suburb by four assailants, who believe their victim to be dead as they panic and flee the scene of the crime. The lifelong allies conceive a plan to eliminate themselves from suspicion. They endure a tortuous week, awaiting their fate, but then learn that the victim - dead or alive - has vanished inexplicably. His whereabouts remain a mystery.The events leading up to the murderous attack reveal four mischievous teenage friends prolonging a final carefree summer together before committing to either university studies or joining the workforce. To a backdrop of the songs of The Smiths and the haunts of the local Birmingham music scene, one of the quartet is engulfed by an unexpected romance, while another reveals his sexuality to mixed reactions at a time when society was less accepting of such openness.Their anonymous world seems idyllic until a life-changing incident compels the friends to commit a vicious murder in a moment of fury. In the present day, a catalyst for a reunion of the once inseparable group, who had drifted apart during the past three decades, forces them to confront the long-suppressed demons of that vicious attack in the eighties. The simultaneous discovery of a crudely-buried skeleton in a renovated city centre building casts suspicion upon the reunited friends, one of whom knows more about what is dubbed ‘The Silver Skeleton’ than was previously divulged. As the case is being investigated by a police detective, who is a former adversary of one of the four friends, personal grievances lingering from the eighties and suspicions of infidelity threaten to cloud the judgement and decision making of all concerned. Justice is in danger of being pushed aside in favour of revenge to ensure that someone - rightly or wrongly - will be accused of the crime of murder.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
