The Dream Factory is a surreal comic thriller that will be enjoyed by readers aged 12 and over. It is a coming-of-age story that employs vivid characterisation and humour to navigate the reader through the twisting plot. Within the seemingly peaceful village of Dingwall we find a gun-toting spinster engaged in espionage, a French criminal mastermind, murder most foul, a 400 year old barman, a nervous vicar with a secret past, a talking sparrow hawk and three children named Hendrix, Page and Clapton. And through all this mayhem love pokes its dizzy head.
