Parallel Lines – The Glasgow Supremacy
It’s great to hear the ‘West of Scotland Squash Divisions’ mentioned in a crime novel and who else but Bert (aka R.J.Mitchell) to be the first to do it.
I went to the Glasgow launch of Bert Mitchell’s first novel Parallel Lines (the Glasgow Supremacy) and bought my copy of the 300-page thriller hoping for a page turner, and I wasn’t disappointed. To say Bert takes us on a romp through Glasgow is understating the case, as the lead characters run amuck through Springburn, over the Kingston Bridge, George Square, the Clyde Tunnel and everywhere in-between! The body count is high, the love triangles are intense (and I’m not just talking about Thistle, Celtic and Rangers!) and the chases are every bit as charged as a good tie-break in the 5th (10-9 if you’re reading the paperback and 12-10 if you’re reading it on a Kindle!).
Squash Legends Come to Aberdeen 23rd-25th September
Have you ever seen any of the modern ‘legends of squash’ play? Were you wowed by the skills of Jonathan Power or amazed by the movement of Peter Nicol? Many of you will remember local lad Martin Heath who reached the dizzy heights World No. 4 spot or adopted Scot John White who was World No.1.
And as if that wasn’t enough Simon Parke (ex-World No.3) and Tim Garner (ex-World Ranked No.28) will also be there to make up the ‘Super Six’ who will be battling it out to settle old scores and bring back some great memories.
