MY LATEST BLOCKBUSTER THRILLER IS NOW AVAILABLE ON KINDLE AND IN PAPERBACK! GET IT NOW.

It is written in a modern style in a scene by scene format, with punctuation which follows reading flow rather than traditional rules. This creates a compelling  narrative, easy to read and hard to put down. This book is a work of fiction, but at its heart there is a real historical cover-up. This drives the plot, but almost all the events and characters are fictional. Some characters appear also in Hitler’s First Lady, but that is a novel much more closely linked to known historical facts and the true story of a family, which appears in both books as the Benedicts. Here most of their story is fiction, as are all the modern characters within the family and in the world beyond.

About the Book

Dr. Rachael Benedict is an American historian and a best-selling author. She has a British connection through her estranged father Saul, an English thriller writer. Saul, whose parents were of Anglo-German origin, has spent much of his life plotting to expose secrets from World War Two, which are so sensitive they have been subject to an extensive cover-up lasting seventy years. As the time approaches for him to make his move to expose duplicity, murder and lies at the heart of the British State, he seeks Rachael’s help. This provokes a killing spree as parts of the security services of both Britain and the United States become engaged in the drama, with one side determined to get the secrets out and the other determined to keep them hidden.

Set equally in the United States and Britain, the narrative grips from the first page, transporting the reader to the heart of government both in Washington and London and on into the darkest corners of the secret states on each side of the Atlantic. Rachael battles forward to unearth the truth both from intrigues of the Nazi era, but also within her own family, surviving three attempts on her life, before finally achieving her goal. Not only does she expose the truth from history and from her own roots, she has to delve deep into her own emotions to find the truth about herself.

John Major made a powerful speech in Germany yesterday, directed at European policy makers. He pleaded for some support for the UK, which finds itself the number one destination for EU migrants to the point where the public perception is that too many are arriving for the services and communities to cope. He pointed up the very real risk that the UK will leave if its pleas are ignored. Is that what Europe wants? No it isn’t. But, and this is a BUT, Europe has decided that the UK cannot be a spoiler and if it demands too much then it’s bye-bye.

Is that what the UK wants? Well England very well might, but not Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England’s population outvotes everyone else, so if England votes to go with a decent majority, the UK is off. That will be the last thing the UK ever does, because for certain it will then break up. Scotland will hold another referendum and leave for sure. The EU, having lost England will welcome Scotland on board. This will leave Wales and Northern Ireland outside the EU from which they gain great benefit, while Ireland and Scotland will be in. No guesses how their minds will tick or where they will seek to go.

So England will be on its own. On the threshold of a new Golden Age? Or up a creek without a paddle?
