About this ebook

 January 1793. France has executed its king, and war on Britain declared one month later. Set against this volatile backdrop is the first in a series of cases and adventures for twenty-six year old Yorkshire attorney, John Eagle. After the death of his curmudgeonly partner, John is struggling to establish his practice; he is then put on the case of a prominent Leeds merchant and JP, who has been found mysteriously run through with his own sword.

It soon transpires that a number of individuals have cause for wanting the rich merchant dead. Among an overlapping mosaic of suspects, including the murdered merchant’s son, disgruntled relatives of the people he put behind bars, and local radicals hell-bent on fermenting revolution, John resolves to go it alone.

About the author

 Miles Craven is Yorkshire born and bred but has lived in North Wales since 1988. Published historian turned creative writer, he has grown to hate footnotes, references and objectivity, preferring to bend the truth any way that suits him to get his characters through the story. Writing is a passion, but a love-hate one: he finds the process neither easy nor particularly pleasurable, but something makes him do it and he misses it like hell when he can’t.
