Summary

The apprenticeships are only meant to last a year - there were never any guarantees beyond that. For Ava, Liv, Mason and Trent, they're just trying to get through the day. They don't know why there's an endless stream of strangers passing through, but no-one ever tells them anything. In a couple of months they'll be kicked out anyway, and God knows what happens after that. Who's looking out for them?
Scissors is a play about family, heritage and legacy, and is part of Chris Bush's trilogy of plays about a Sheffield manufacturing family, Rock / Paper / Scissors. The three plays were first performed simultaneously with the same cast moving between three theatres in Sheffield – the Crucible, the Lyceum and the Studio – as part of Sheffield Theatres' fiftieth birthday celebrations in 2022.
Available since: 07/07/2022.
Print length: 96 pages.

    Achim Jeffers had no illusions of being a hero or some savior. He was once again faced with another a covert mission. This one, involving dangerous and lawless cops. Achim's shadowy bosses needed him to expose the cop's secrets and obtain justice for the beleaguered black citizens of New Orleans. This was the very profession Achim left his Sunday pulpit to pursue. Now as a ruthless hitman, he enjoyed these types of missions and dedicated the rebirth of his new life towards fulfilling them.

A mysterious and elusive black cop had stolen his heart, making an already risky mission more difficult and confused.

For Achim, the stakes are high, and he must somehow win the war waging within his soul while answering the hardest question of all. Does he embrace his heart's desire for Jessica Baker, or does he quench his righteous thirst for justice? Find out in this action-packed novel.
