Synopsis

Martin Hardy shortlisted for the 2016 Cross British Sportsbook Awards: Best New Writer!

By the summer of 1996, Newcastle were officially the second best club in England following a dramatic race for the Premier League title, with the ambition to become even bigger. Tunnel of Love reflects the dramatic highs and gut-wrenching lows that covered the 13-year period which followed the failed agony of falling so close to becoming champions of England in 1996, when Keegan's Entertainers were in their pomp.

About this title

Review:

"Tunnel of Love is as essential as Touching Distance was. That belonged in the Romance section, Tunnel of Love could sit in thrillers, or even tragedy" -- Mark Douglas, the Evening Chronicle

"Tunnel of Love had me on page one. So many happy and sad memories" -- Simon Bird, The Mirror

"Hardy has a brilliant knack for taking the reader back to how it felt at a particular moment in Newcastle's history. He impressively combines the journalistic scoop with raw emotion. Tunnel of Love will make you laugh, it will make you cry. It should be on everyone's Christmas list" -- --Jack Lacey-Hatton, The Mag
