Unfinished Sympathy
Reply
Mystery, suspense, blackmail and scandal in 1908 New York…
To live for you, to die for you…
Searching for his long lost love, reluctant time traveler Mitch finds himself in 1908 New York, caught up in a dark case of blackmail and secrets with famous composer Gustav Mahler and his wife Alma.
Investigating a mysterious threatening letter, Mitch must walk two contrasting worlds: uptown high society where opera-loving millionaires plot and scheme, and downtown ghettos where Jewish mobsters battle Chinatown gangsters for control of jazz clubs and nickelodeons.
Featuring a teenage Irving Berlin, jazz pioneer James Reese Europe, a young Duke Ellington, corrupt police chief Charles Becker, and notorious gangsters Big Jack Zelig and Mock Duck, Unfinished Sympathy is a gripping thriller of murder, blackmail, adultery and scandal set in the last days of New York’s Gilded Age.

New Touchstone story in Birmingham anthology
It’s out! The NEW STREET STORIES anthology is published far and wide following its brilliant launch last week at the prestigious New Street location of the Medicine Gallery.
Sit in on the Bright Star Rising book launch
Andy Conway launches the latest book in the Touchstone series, at the book’s key location, the Moseley Dovecote. Watch him read from the book and answer questions with John Godbold (10th Planet, Fantom Events).
The perfect book launch – Bright Star Rising over the Dovecote
You can’t fail to have noticed that the next book in the Touchstone saga is out this summer – BRIGHT STAR RISING – where Buffalo Bill meets the Peaky Blinders and the Wild West spills out onto the streets of Victorian Birmingham.
Thinking of how to do something different with the launch, I hit on the idea of a location from the book. Getting 100 Lakota braves to ride down New Street (as Buffalo Bill did in 1887) was a bit beyond my budget, but what if I could stage a launch event somewhere more achievable, like St Mary’s churchyard, or… well, look at that… how about the Moseley Dovecote?
