Riot, Retribution and Revenge

In 1831, Britian is in turmoil. Nathaniel Parry journeys to Bath, to be the eyes and ears of Lords Melbourne and Palmerston in the edgy days as Parliament debated the Great Reform Bill. Nathaniel is drawn into the toils of provincial passion and intrigue, which in turn lead him to the murderous depths of international crime. Chinese agents, the wharf-rat flotsam of Bristol Docks and the low life of fashionable Bath conspire to complicate what should have been more of a holiday than a mission. Read this for the cracking pace of the tale, a joyous immersion in the world of the 1830s and a trenchant reminder of the fragile nature of moral right. “Riot and Retribution spins an engrossing tale, rich in detail and atmosphere, complete with heroes, villains and romantic dilemmas … fencing and martial arts.”(Edmonton Journal, Dec. 2016)In the second instalment, Napoleon’s Gold – The Wages of Sin, the adventure continues. The year is 1833: ghosts from the past walk as reminders of wicked deeds but the rich and privileged still have the whip hand in the game of power. Nathaniel Parry, British agent, has set up home and a new life in Bath but old evils and old scores from the French Wars, as well as old loves, confuse the present. In his mission for truth and justice against villains and femmes fatales he is not alone. Working in the shadows is his ally, Cornelius Lee, a formidable and charismatic Chinese agent on a mission for his Emperor.
