About the book

A British used-car dealer and a reclusive former Hollywood child star are unlikely participants in a revolution. Tehrun brings Ronnie Scott Dodd and Deanna Durbin into a novel set against the events of 1978, finding unexpected possibilities in people who seem far removed from political upheaval.

At the beginning, Ronnie’s attention is divided between the racing pages and a prospective customer examining his stock. A test drive appears to promise a much-needed sale, but the stranger knows more about Ronnie’s private life than a buyer should. The conversation moves away from cars, and the ordinary working day begins to change shape. Wilton Morley introduces his story through Ronnie’s calculations, evasions and growing suspicion, balancing the small concerns of a struggling business with a much larger world outside.
