Show Me The Sky
Nicholas Hogg
Available as eBook
Time is running out for James Dent. On the trail of missing singer Billy K, his team has exhausted every lead. The investigation has cost Dent his marriage, his home and possibly his job. All he has left is his instinct, and a copy of ‘Show Me the Sky’ - the book Billy was reading when he vanished.
With only the clothes on his back, Dent himself disappears. He believes he can solve this case alone. He can have little idea where this journey will take him. From the love letter of a motorcyclist sranded in central Australia, to the back streets and brothels of Mombasa, Dent begins to wonder if he is trailing a man, a ghost or himself.
Mystery, adventure, historical voyage, and journey of discovery - Show Me the Sky is an unforgettable ride.
“[A] subtle and clever novel…each voice is different and distinct. … The whole is plotted so artfully that I had to re-read sections to pick out the author’s carefully scattered clues, before working out what finally happened, and closing the book with a deep sigh of satisfaction.”

“Like a four-part harmony, Hogg balances these voices, strengthening the book’s message of staying true to one’s roots.”

“Hogg’s gamble that the reader will stick with what at first seem random stories pays off once it becomes clear how the different threads intertwine.”
