Nectar of the Lavender

About the Book

A recently unemployed man wracked by the guilt of his best friend’s suicide seeks revenge against those he believes are culpable. Armed with just a hard-drive, he must search for clues to take on the notorious Negatory Nine, the white collar thugs he holds responsible for Jeff’s untimely death. On his emotional journey he addresses his own psychological scars through the cameo appearances of eccentric and colourful characters who help remind him of life’s little pleasures. Ultimately he must decide whether he wants to sacrifice peace of mind in the pursuit of Jeff’s honour, and whether the journey is more valuable than the destination. Nectar of the Lavender is an exciting account of one man’s interpretation of the world he exists in, and resolves the question of whether society’s domineering bullies can get away with committing violations without remorse.
