This, my fourteenth novel, picks up Jack Telford’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.
Read the blurb…
A novel in ten acts, following the misadventures of correspondent Jack Telford, from 1945 until his death in 1983. A series of linked long short stories, and short novellas, brought together in Telford’s Odyssey.
‘Odysseus had it easy,’ said Jack Telford. ‘Only adrift for ten years after his war. But me? It’s taken me forty!’ Forty years before he could finally come home. And all those journeys; the places he’d seen; the treacheries he’d known; the enemies he’d managed to make, like Papa Hemingway; the unlikely friendship with young George Harrison; the secrets he’d discovered; the dangers he’d come through. Unscathed? Hardly. Though, just look what he’d found at the end. Had it been worthwhile? Had he made a difference somewhere along the road? Somewhere in those forty long years?
For all lovers of historical crime novels!
Already highly acclaimed, this is a cracking good mystery. Plenty of other surprises for readers too.
