Telford’s Odyssey
Jack Telford is back! In his latest novel (December 2025), David Ebsworth picks up Jack’s misadventures as a correspondent where the previous story (A Betrayal of Heroes) left him, at the end of the Second World War. Previously, Telford’s involvement in the final stages of the Spanish Civil War enthralled readers, first, in The Assassin’s Mark and, then, in Until The Curtain Falls. But Telford’s Odyssey is a collection of linked long short stories and short novellas which take Jack through mysteries, espionage, danger and strange encounters, from Nuremberg and Vienna, Berlin and Hamburg, Lourenço Marques and Lisbon and, eventually, home to England.
‘Odysseus had it easy,’ said Jack Telford. ‘Only adrift for ten years after his war.
But me? It’s taken me forty!’
“David Ebsworth, a terrific storyteller, his passion for his subject and his characters grabs you by the throat.” (Elizabeth Buchan, bestselling author of The Museum of Broken Promises, The New Mrs Clifton and I Can’t Begin To Tell You.)
Ebsworth weaves another intriguing story, very much in the tradition of
William Boyd’s Any Human Heart.
“David Ebsworth’s immersive body of work demonstrates a keen eye for historical detail.” (Vaseem Khan, best-selling author and Chair of the UK Crime Writers’ Association).
