The Straw Men : Exclusive Extended Extract

The Straw Men by Tony R. Cox   Chapter 1 The lump of coal hurtled towards Simon Jardine car’s windscreen with the force of a missile. The impact shattered the glass into the pattern of a crazy star and he instinctively clamped his eyes tightly shut. He’d been following the dirty old coal lorry since it had pulled out in front of him a mile back. It shouldn’t be allowed on the road, he muttered. It was piled high with sacks of coal.
