The expectations of the middle classes are the target of this wickedly written volume of tales. A general stops at nothing to get a promotion, only to meet his match in his rival's wife. A couple fall in love at a drinks party yet consummating their desire proves more and more frustrating. And a man is asked to spy on a beautiful foreign agent - but things are not quite as they seem. Subtle wit and broad farce walk joyously hand in hand through Escapade.
Charles Owen writes Army obituaries for the Daily Telegraph. He has been variously a stockbroker, a merchant banker, a cavalry officer, a Ministry of Defence contractor and an engineering export salesman. Cry Cassandra! and Fiamma were published recently. Four collections of short stories - A Crack in the Glass, The Mark of the Beast, Man Overboard and Escapade - are now being published simultaneously.
