    He idealises the beautiful Blue Pacific and is lured there by Krista Hecht – a seductive heiress with a complex past. Bagley arrives in Fiji, and thinks he is in paradise. Krista seduces him into her covert world of unsettling truths, carnal lust, fertility drug tests, green politics and financial crime. Bagley’s illusions fade. Beauty hides crime. Pollution poses as perfection. Britain may be breaking, but Bagley is now tangled in Krista’s web. Will he stay to help save the most beautiful place on Earth? Or is it wrecked, foretelling recent times? Will paradise break Bagley? Is Krista Hecht so bad? Who and what is behind her?

    BLUE SNIFFER might make you change ideas you did NOT want challenged. It might confirm as truth, what you thought was only fiction.

‘You dare touch me like that again and you will be on the next flight back to England,’ she hissed, her finger now rigid against his chest. ‘This is my beach, not your fantasy.
Excerpt from Blue Sniffer

She kept her head down and rolled a glossy red mango from hand to hand... Bagley sensed something unusual beneath her straw hat… He stared in wonderment at her pert breasts.
Excerpt from Blue Sniffer

If human life was a grotesque lottery, then all sense of justice and hope was dead. All that remained were distractions—sex, television, chemicals, hobbies, violence, consumer goods, social media and religion.
Excerpt from Blue Sniffer

He was alive, but a bit-part actor in his own horror version of the Bounty bar TV advertisement. The gorgeous girl was gone, there was no chocolate and, ‘Christ, I hate fucking coconuts.’
Excerpt from Blue Sniffer

So she killed him. Not physically. That was too crass. She killed him by smiling, by never explaining, by enjoying the fact he could never quite figure her out.
Excerpt from Blue Sniffer

“Can’t wait for the film when he’s a little boy chasing the magic of Kingfishers”

BLUE SNIFFER

Lying on the beach, I looked up and other sun lovers had their nose in Blue Sniffer

K. LONGSTAFF
Review for BLUE SNIFFER

Bold, brilliant and unforgettable. A masterfully written descent into beauty, madness, and meaning. One of the best books I’ve read in a long while.

T. WILLIAMS
Review for BLUE SNIFFER

Darkly original and surprisingly moving. Every sentence pulses with energy. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever read. Deserves to be a movie!

B. HARTLEIGH
Review for BLUE SNIFFER

Immersive, wickedly clever, and unexpectedly profound. Blue Sniffer is disturbing in all the right ways. A truly memorable experience.

L. BLAKELEY
Review for BLUE SNIFFER

Wow. What a ride. A sun-drenched fever dream of sex, satire and synaesthesia. Bold, subversive, and totally addictive. A five-star read.

After an early start in psychedelic art and university to study Communication Design, Lawrence joined a U.S corporate, then became creative director of an advertising and PR agency. Notable successes earnt election into the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. He then sold his business, travelled widely, held senior PR roles in the New Zealand and British NHS, then led intelligence projects in the former Soviet Bloc and UXO clearance in the Orient. An offer from S.I.S. led to an influential role in the UK security industry. College teaching followed, plus voluntary social rehabilitation projects for psychiatric patients. Photography exhibited in notable galleries includes 'Chinese Gamblers, Sunshine and Her'. Magazine feature writing led to Lawrence's first novel, plagiarised to become a best seller. Blue Sniffer is his second novel. A sequel is planned for 2027.
