Graphic artist and computer hacker, James Elkind, finds himself imprisoned in a windowless room with two women. Who are they and what is this facility they're trapped in? As they search through the past to try to understand their surreal dilemma, seventeen year old James must confront the contradictions of his identity. Can he escape to find a future, or will this room prove to be his tomb?

Thee Golden Hour is a taut story, told with control and thoughtfulness A surprising, thought-provoking and - not least - entertaining tale.
Patrick Allington , author of Figurehead

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, for its maturity as well as its slightly audacious plot. the locked room is a convincing theatre A brilliant piece of writing
