Chase The Ace

Newly single in his late twenties, and looking for more fun than he gets from his boring job, Daniel Cross soon discovers the lure of social media. After a few hiccups, he's excited at the chance of tracking down his old mates from the Scorching Summer Sports Club of 1990. He lost touch with his "Gang of Four" after that summer, but now he launches a personal quest to find out what kind of man each boy has become.

It starts well with a link to the first boy's current address, through a mutual friend on Facebook, until Dan realises he's been chatting online to the wrong man--Nick Carson isn't an old school friend at all. It's a genuine mistake, and Nick isn't offended. He offers to accompany Dan on the trip to find the others. It's the first step to friendship and something more for both of them.

For Dan, the reunions with the "Gang of Four" range from startling, heartening and disturbing. Nick's company is a constant support, though neither of them are prepared for the exposure of personal secrets they'd thought were long-hidden. Dan begins to suspect that he's really looking for a direction in his own life--and the excitement and purpose he craves may be closer to home than a quest with its roots in a boyhood dream.
