It’s Behind You by Keith Temple

It’s Behind You by Keith Temple

A story about fame, megalomania and murder.

Carina Hemsley, former soap star of ‘Winkle Bay’ was a hugely popular actress in her day - until her ego took over and ‘Cora Smart’, her character, was axed off.

Now, after years away from the lime-light, she’s appearing as the Good Fairy in panto, terrorising the cast and crew of a tatty third-rate northern theatre and drinking and smoking herself to death. Audiences are down and the outlook isn’t good… until she starts receiving death threats in the post. Along with the police, the media circus descends, boosting her public profile and putting bums on seats in the theatre.

Follow Carina and her not-so-merry troupers as they face an onslaught of assassination, romance and intrigue, but as Carina says, ‘The Show Must Go On!’

Keith Temple, a well-established scriptwriter for TV shows such as EastEnders, Doctor Who, Casualty and Doc Martin, has turned his pen towards novel writing. His first novel ‘It’s Behind You’, is sure to grab your attention and make him a name as a novelist.

‘It’s Behind You’ follows has-been soap-star Carina Hemsley as she desperately tries to claw her way back into the lime-light. When she
starts getting poison pen letters the police begin to investigate and star tling secrets begin to unravel.

A tale of murders, mystery and intrigue, that is so comical it will have you laughing out loud. Keith says: “Now that it’s finished, I can actually start to think of myself as a ‘genuine’ writer – which is ridiculous, I AM a writer and have been for years. But this feels different somehow. I suppose, because it was a long-time dream I suspected might never happen. But it has. I’m still pinching myself…”.
