A great honour and very exciting. I am a British author, historian and journalist. Set against the background of the British occupation of Sicily, it follows the adventures of George Warne, a bright young British officer ordered to investigate his suspicions of an anti-British conspiracy. The action of the novel takes place against the vivid backdrop of Messina, its bustling port, the famous straits and Sicily's beautiful interior.
The cast of characters is well thought, the plot well crafted and flows. As the title suggests, a case of suspected treachery soon transpires and one of the officers is ordered by his superiors to investigate, this becoming the main arc of the story. Based undoubtedly on an extensive amount of research, this is an enjoyable read which sweeps you away convincingly to another land and a past age. I am now writing a sequel, under the working title 'The Restless Harbour', set in Palermo in and My journalism and book reviews have appeared in a number of publications.
