The Wordsmiths (Paperback)

Where's the connection between five people writing a play for a talent contest, the success or failure of Channel 1TV and it's charismatic creator, Dickov Lucas, and the 2002 World Cup? In delivering the answers, Nick Matthes' debut novel takes us on a rollercoaster ride across a football obsessed country slowly sinking into a rain fuelled quagmire. All roads are leading to Statford and the night before the World Cup Final, in which England are playing the old rivals for the crown, Germany. Will disaster happen? Will England beat Germany? Will our Wordsmiths find happiness? Read on to find out.
