Inhaltsangabe

A Tale of Intrigue and Adventure: In the heart of pre-Victorian England, Nathaniel Parry, a man of mystery and resolve, finds himself entangled in a web of political intrigue and social upheaval. It is October 1831, and Parry is sent to the famous city of Bath Spa, 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.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of suspenseful narratives, or simply looking for a captivating read, this novel promises to deliver an unforgettable experience. Add it to your collection today and discover the secrets that lie within the pages of this extraordinary tale.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr Alex Kolaczkowski has taught history at schools in Bath and Bristol, as well as in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey. Her B.Ed degree was awarded by the University of Bristol and her Ph.D by the University of Bath. A dedicated teacher, passionate about all aspects of her subject, she took her pupils on frequent field trips, making ancient, medieval, early modern and modern topics alike come vividly to life. Bath and Bristol are cities very well known to her having lived, studied and worked in both of them. Her expertise in Bath history stemmed from her years spent researching the city as a case-study for her doctoral topic on the development of municipal socialism and the civic ideal in the nineteenth century. By invitation from the Dictionary of National Biography she provided the entry for Sir Jerom Murch who was Mayor of Bath on seven occasions, and wrote a paper on aspects of Bath Non-Conformism for the Unitarian Journal. These research activities helped provide her specialist background knowledge of the period and places in which the novel is set.
