Llandudno’s Great Orme is the setting for a dark, psychological thriller by Paul D. Coombs.

The novel called The Great Orme was described as “Agatha Christie meets Stephen King” by one reviewer.

The story revolves around one man’s desire Zacharay Llewellyn to finally confess for the murders he and his friends committed as teenagers.

Then years later, as their grisly brand of retribution followed them into their new lives away from the Great Orme, Zac summons them all to return home under the gaze of The Great Orme headland and join his confession.

But not everyone wants to lose everything they have built and someone is still out there killing.

Paul says it’s a “taut psychological thriller laced with moral ambiguity”.
