Press Release Summary: This is a story of dreams and aspirations, talents and
promise, apprehension and perhaps tragedy. This is a book that shows how chance
encounters really can change lives.

Press Release Body: Do you have a dream? Most of us do and Luke Marshall is no
exception. Writing music is his hobby, but could it also be his ticket out of a
South London backwater, his escape from a dead-end job? Kenny English, the most
successful lyricist of his generation, has lived the dream. Now, several platinum
discs and three multi-million pound divorces later, Kenny faces bankruptcy unless he
can find a new composer. Putting Luke and Kenny together seems the obvious answer: a
leg up for Luke and a new start for Kenny. If only life were that simple. When fate
intervenes and Luke disappears, Kenny teams up with the young musician\'s sister to
try and track him down. As they criss-cross the capital they realise that things
taken for granted may not always be true.

Excerpt from the book:

"Luke stared at the ceiling in frustration for a moment before turning his attention
to the computer. He switched on and it booted to the bank's standard sign on
screen. Luke rushed his user name and password to such an extent that he had to
type it four times before it would allow him access to the network. Once it had
loaded his profile he clicked on the Date/Time icon in the tray. He let out a low
sigh as the calendar confirmed his worst fears; just after 5.30 am, Saturday 30th
April. Luke leant forward, steepling his fingers in front of his nose. For several
minutes he didn't move and then in a flurry he clicked on the email icon. Running
his hands through his hair he paused before typing a short message:-

I am stuck in the bloody vault. Get me out for God's sake."
