The Colour of Fire

‘Really extraordinary. It grabs you from the first page.’ – Edward Klekowski

Captain Tom Caine knows he should be out with the throngs of revellers celebrating Victory in Europe but, instead of elation, he only feels anger. How can he celebrate when he is haunted by the horrors of the war and the friends he was unable to save?

When Caine takes a post in the war crimes investigation team, it’s not long before he makes an unforgivable discovery; allied forces and military police, the very people who should be supporting their mission, have been intentionally obstructing their progress. But what are they trying to hide?

And what about Celia Blaney, field security officer and the object of his affections, reported MIA? Could the two be linked?

This action-packed thriller offers insight into the chaotic state of post-war Europe, depicting the harrowing aftermath of the atrocities wreaked by Nazi occupation.

‘It’s everything you’d expect: well plotted, taut, with fast flowing action, a believable and intriguing plot and very credible characters.’ – John Sadler, author of Blitzing Rommel
