This story is a mystery. Matthew Gibbons is a normal fanily man - an Everyman. He has a happy home life with his wife Ruth and son Nathan. As with most families, the Gibbons family has a routine, and their routine is that Ruth texts Matt when she leaves her office, and within an hour she is home. One night she never gets home. Eventually Matt reports her disappearance to the police, but also searches for her himself. He begins at her place of work, but nobody there knows her. As he continues his quest to find Ruth, he discovers more and more about her, and begins to feel that he never really knew her at all, up until her meets his mother-in-law, who tells him that his wife died in a car crash three years ago. This story would work best as a mini series or a standalone movie. The numerous pieces of information Matt discovers about Ruth prompt the question 'how can this be?' and a desire to undertake the quest with him to get an answer. When the denoument does come, it comes suddenly (after some teasing) and will leave audiences shocked at the explanation of who Ruth was, what happened to her, and who was the woman Matt married.

Philip Cox was born and raised in the UK seaside town of Southend on Sea, which lies forty miles east of London. After graduating from High School, he began a career in UK Banking and Financial Services, and spent the next decades working his way through the ranks, finally becoming a Branch Manager of a major UK bank. Philip left banking after the birth of his first child to be a stay-at-home father, and it was during this time that, in between changing diapers/nappies, he began to write his first novel, ‘After the Rain’. Now having written ten books, he is based in Hertfordshire, some twenty miles north of London, with his wife and two daughters. During his spare time (what spare time there is between school runs and writing!), Philip enjoys indulging his interest in Model Railroading/Railways. He is tall and slim, has a few grey hairs, and wishes he could get to the gym more often.
