The Jackson Moores have been tilling the land of Hope House Farm on the West Coast of Cumbria for many generations, but they have been harbouring a dangerous history of dark and sinister secrets for far longer: cancerous secrets, that have slowly eaten away at their family, their sanity and their very existence. Nemesis comes in the shape of P.C. James Henderson, when he first spies Danny - youngest son of the family - on his way to commit a crime - or at least to conceal one. This pivotal moment sets Henderson on a doomed road of infatuation and addiction, ending in ruin and, ultimately, death. For Danny is no ordinary boy and he belongs to no ordinary family. Until now, the Jackson Moores have managed to keep their skeletons firmly inside the closet, but when Henderson unwittingly uncovers their twisted House of Usher, the whole rotten construct starts to sink into the mire, dragging everyone with it in a spectacular display of ruthless revenge.
Die Schwarze Engel - the mythical black angel of death, of evil, of sorrow. Or of something darker than all three... Danny has been missing for six years when one night, drunk and confused, Stephen thinks he sees him reflected in a bar mirror, like an apparition from the past. But surely he has imagined it? Danny haloed and burning above him like an avenging angel; Danny rescuing him from a midnight street in a sinister, dark car; Danny smelling of lemon and dressed all in black silk, as sharp and caustic as Lucifer himself. Those drunken visions can't be true, can they? But Rab believes they must be, Stephen fears they might be and Conley knows they are. Danny is back, and now there is one overriding question burning in all their minds: what has he been doing during those mysterious missing years - and with who? Vulnerable, lost, and deep in mourning, Danny is ripe for the picking. But that shadowy other is ever-present, like an unspoken third, a revenant determined to be at the party, ruining their fun. Is the 'Schwarze Engel' real, or just a figment of their collective imaginations? And, more importantly, can anyone finally set Danny free of it?
Eilean Mhor is a small island off the West Coast of Scotland, surrounded by ocean and blessed with long white sandy beaches. It is here Danny sets up home with his oldest adversary, and greatest friend. At first all is wine and roses, glowing sunsets and fun on the beach, but it isn't long before old jealousies and ugly frictions start rubbing the bloom of newfound happiness off Elysium. First there is Ewan of the violet eyes and heart-shaped face, idolising Danny and hero-worshipping the dangerous Jackson Moore charisma. Then there is Morag, buxom, sweet and keen to replace her unsatisfying local boyfriend with something altogether darker. And then there is Iain - a new Iain scarily like the old one in the one way Danny fears most: a cuckoo in the nest determined to steal his life for his own. DANNY 2.2 is the most seductive and alluring volume of The DANNY Quadrilogy, and offers us a different portrait of the Jackson Moores: happy, optimistic, even secure. But how long can it last, with hungry interlopers sneaking in every door, their gaze fixed firmly on everything Danny holds dear?
On the run and desperate to evade the law, the Jackson Moores decide to take to the road, taking the law with them in a last-ditch attempt to outrun their fate. But this time something has changed. This time there is a significance to their triangle that is perversely revealing, and more than a little reminiscent of their relationship with Ian, their b te noir, ever-present in his perennial guise as Banquo's ghost. Perhaps stirred by Macbethian guilt, life on the road becomes one long confessional, and as the miles pass and the race gets tighter, truths come out that can no longer be hidden, not even by the sinister, hypnotic shadow-light of nights spun out across the endless motorways of Britain. Darker and more disturbing than anything that has gone before, DANNY 2.3 is the breathless climax of our heroes' Road Movie. In more ways than one...
Volume 3 brings the Quadrilogy to its incendiary conclusion. Going back in time to the 1970s, and thus bringing the story full circle, the Jackson Moore clan is back - all of them. Now you can see how it all began, and find out the true story of Danny & John, the real events behind Ian's crafty chicanery, and what really happened that day in the hayloft. Join the boys in their last complete adventure. The very best, and most revealing, one of all - growing up...
Making up the first story in this omnibus edition of the DANNY Quadrilogy 'Minor Works', is DANNY Volume 4, Two Dead Boys, an 83 page fragment from what was intended to be the final volume in the series. Set in Manchester, it revisits old characters and new, and sets off on a whole new quest to discover the truths behind the Jackson Moores' darkest and most buried secrets: who were Danny's parents, what part do the Sutherlands play in their family history, and, last, but not least, who the hell was Harry Greaves? Sadly, none of these questions are answered, but it does offer an intriguing novella-length glimpse of Danny's life further down the line, provoking us with some unsettling questions and throwing some light on where our heroes may - one day - be headed. Also included in this edition are the two 'origin stories' that inspired DANNY: Nothing But A Negro and the novella, The Boy With the Red Hair; an opulent period piece exploring DANNY's themes of obsessive love and sexual addiction. Finally, there is Death in Venice, another novella-length fragment cut from DANNY 3, set during Venice Carnival and starring an old acquaintance from Danny's 'lost years'. All the pieces also have in-depth introductions, explaining the history behind them. DANNY 4/The Minor Works offers 288 pages of DANNY Quadrilogy fun facts and fabulous fiction, and provides an informative and thought-provoking must-have, end-of-the-meal finisher for every DANNY gourmet.
