Description:

Amazon Top One Hundred Best Selling Author in the Crime category.

For readers who enjoy an old fashioned classic thriller style, this could be just your cup of tea. If however you have an expectation of gratuitous violence, sex, and profanity, this is not the book for you. This is the kind of thriller which would not have been out of place, had it been written during the 50s and 60s. This is no accidental occurrence, as the book has been crafted to reflect the past, not merely as an excuse for violence and mayhem.

It is 1938. Sergeant Harry Royle, on the eve of becoming an officer, is framed for murder and forced to run. Royle forced into hiding, friendless and lost, as hunted, he runs from place to place. Manchester, Cardiff and York, are but stops along his journey. A journey which eventually takes him to the brutal streets of London's gangland Soho, where he finds friendship, comrades and a hope of redemption, in the twilight world of smoky jazz clubs and those who live in the shadows. Harry’s story is told against a backdrop of wartime cities, daring prison escapes and stolen moments of happiness. It is one man’s truth and his battles with an unjust world, a world populated by those who live by their own rules and who would stop at nothing to keep him locked away and his true story untold.
Although this is book one in the Harry Royle Thriller series, it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone read, as each Harry Royle book will be a complete story.
