Written by Matthew Corrigan

From his opulent office on Manchester Town Hall's top floor, Councillor Andy King pulls the levers that run the city. The consummate politician for the 21st Century he always knows exactly what to say. But the public face hides a ruthless streak -- he is waiting for the right opportunity. OSPREY - the Overhead System Producing Renewable Energy is an audacious scheme to harness high-altitude wind power. Is it a breakthrough in clean energy or a far-fetched fantasy designed to extort millions? Set in recession-hit Manchester, "Osprey" is a brilliantly satirical novel that lifts a lid on everything from phone hacking to climate change hysteria. Topical, controversial and worryingly believable, it is a tale of panic, greed and people on the make.
Matthew Corrigan was born in Manchester. OSPREY is his fi rst novel. He began writing in 2011 after entering the Marple Festival competition on a whim. When he isn't throwing things at the television he can sometimes be found chasing a badly-behaved rescue dog called Ralf around Brabyns Park.
