The Architect of Murder
Twenty thousand war dead, the will of the wealthiest man in the Empire, the coronation of Edward VII, and a hero with post traumatic stress disorder…Murder and mayhem on the mean streets of 1902 Westminster.
Major Alec Marshall VC, newly back in London , is enlisted to make inquiries into the will of the late Cecil John Rhodes, the wealthiest man in the British Empire . That same night one of the witnesses to the will, Eric Lowenstein, is found beaten to death in a seedy boarding house, where he was lodging under a false name. As London prepares for King Edward VII’s coronation, Marshall discovers that Lowenstein harboured a deadly secret concerning not only the vast fortune Rhodes amassed, but the very future of the Empire. Marshall ’s investigation takes him into the dark heart of a flawed genius, and sets him on a personal journey that will change his life forever.
