Theo Hopcraft's brings us "The Pawnbroker", his tale of theft, murder, and the occult with homo-erotic overtones.

Read of what happens after a sailor sells a valuable and much sought-after diamond to a dealer trading on the Liverpool dock, A sailor who only after the sale is completed gives a warning to the pawnbroker which, in his greed, he neglects to heed.

A wilful neglect that will see both his assistant and senior partner die before him in the most dreadful and inexplicable of ways.

Neglect that will see the pawnbroker come face to face with the Subcontinent man to whom the diamond belongs.

A man who insists he has no intention of killing him... Though, like the man who came before him. The broker will come to wish that he had!

A believable and macabre fantasy tale for those readers who prefer to use the darker sides of their imaginations with the help of character-driven plotlines.
