Synopsis

Finding the killer was just the beginning...
The sound of a gunshot rips through the peace of a sunny Sunday morning in Milan.

One body - two potential targets.

High-flier Lieutenant Raphael Conza, the son of an Italian diplomat is tasked with unravelling the mystery behind the murder outside the Hotel Napoli. It’s Conza's toughest case yet. As he seeks the rider of the moped spotted leaving the murder scene, key witnesses go missing and someone is leaking details of the case to the press…and others.

For the first time in his career, Conza begins to doubt his instincts and is torn between his pursuit of the criminals and the need to protect the vulnerable.

The Milan Contract takes the reader on an extraordinary journey across Italy, the UK and Germany as Conza attempts to unravel the secrets behind the killing of a grey-haired man in Milan.

À propos de l'auteur

Stephen Franks served in both the British Army and Royal Air Force during a career spanning more than twenty years. Stephen took up law in the 2000's and was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 2016. However, he has always harboured the desire to write and in the autumn of 2020, he set out the story that became The Milan Contract. He says of this, his first novel that, "...writing The Milan Contract wasn't so much an ambition, as a burning desire to put into writing a tale that came to me as I stood on the steps of a Milanese hotel waiting for a taxi. As strange as it may sound, I have always believed that the story was somehow already in existence - it was just waiting for someone to come along to tell it." That story is still in much the same form as it was when it first 'appeared' to Stephen more than twenty years ago! In addition to his writing, Stephen continues to offer legal advice and support to a small portfolio of private clients in the south of the UK. He lives with his wife and two sons in Dorset.
