"With each passing month, the themes in Over The Line become more relevant." - Sean Ingle, The Guardian. Published in February 2015, Over The Line anticipated the doping crisis in sport and exposed the over-lapping epidemic of steroid abuse for appearance-enhancing body-building. A gritty and poignant thriller, it’s a story of suspicion, denial and betrayal set in and around the drug scene in a south Wales gym. It’s the eve of Rio, and Britain’s Olympic poster girl, Megan Tomos, seems destined for a gold medal. But detectives investigating the steroid-fuelled death of her childhood friend, Matt, have other priorities and want to find out what she knows. In panic and riddled with angst, Megan disappears, only to resurface arm-in-arm with Will, an old boyfriend who was banned from rugby after failing a drugs test. Her coach, Liam, is dumbfounded and doesn't know what to think. He wants to trust her but has to wrestle with his doubts under growing pressure from the police and media. As layers of Megan’s past are peeled away, she has to face up to some big mistakes - but the biggest of them is a surprise even to her. Dozens of reader reviews/ratings of the book can be found on Good Reads as well as Amazon. ‘The heroine of British athletics, tainted by doping and death. Couldn't happen? Read Over The Line and decide. Absorbing.’ - Michael Calvin, Independent on Sunday. 'What a great read.' - Katharine Merry, Olympic bronze medallist, Sydney 2000. ‘This is not just a book sports fans, it weaves some links to other interesting themes. Read it in one sitting on the flight to Rio. Excellent.’ - Ian Gordon, sports writer. 'Over the Line is a good old-fashioned story, with characters you will care about and a plot that will keep you turning pages until the very end' - Dylan Moore, writer and critic. 'The author set out to make a statement with this novel and has done so successfully.' - Buzz Magazine 'A gripping tale from a masterful storyteller' – Jamie Owen, broadcaster and author.
