Synopsis

Epitomizing the glamour and decadence of the era, Amelia Lambe is the quintessential English free spirit, an unlikely widow who knows the value of her sex and is not shy about using it. Combining her sexual magnetism with wily panache, Amelia uncovers the enemy within and annihilates men with an evil mission. Throughout, she is the sexual game player, not some passive love interest. The vengeful Meixmoron and his courting of the Nazis, born of his hatred of the Americans, follows his near-death experience at the end of the Great War at the hands of the most decorated US airman. His targeting of British searchlight stations is an untried Nazi plotline, bearing a twenty-first century resonance that hardly needs explaining. Spanning locations from the Alps to Belfast and Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest to the Himalayas, the plot captures the essence of the times, as the story unfolds across Scotland and England’s university and cathedral cities. Amelia’s pursuit of the truth of her arms-dealing husband’s disappearance on the Cresta Run is matched only by her nemesis’s plotting against the Americans and his accomplices’ misplaced efforts to help the Nazis to victory.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

With a booktrade career lasting eighteen years, a career that came about after replying to an advert for a part-time bookseller with Hodges Figgis. Landing the job meant turning down a place in university, with a chance to earn money working with something much loved books! University has been around four hundred years, plenty of time to study in the future With the final eight years as a key account manager in publishing and library services across Britain and Ireland, a travelogue never appealed. With the primary inspiration for his writing being his travels at first selling Catholic books across Protestant Britain, then selling library services to Scotlands universities and colleges an opportunity presented itself to do something different, yet familiar: Amelia Lambe was born.
