Treasonous

Thriller

“Jack Reacher meets Ocean’s Eleven”

An ex-assassin. A president with a dark secret. And a stash of gold.

Ben Gabriel’s dishonourable discharge from the elite British Special Forces has left him disillusioned and unemployable. When a dead journalist is pulled from the waters of Cape Town harbour, Gabriel seeks the answers to the questions he was asking. Questions about the new president.

How did he survive the fire that killed his freedom fighting comrades? And what happened to the woman who betrayed him?

Gabriel knows that sometimes it takes one killer to stop another, and will do anything to discover the truth, even if that means stepping outside the law.

Sometimes the path to truth is more than a little crooked.

If he fails, what will become of the country under the leadership of a killer president?

Treasonous is the first book in the Gabriel series of thrillers set in the turbulent political landscape of South Africa.

If you like the works of John le Carre, Len Deighton and Lee Child, stories of the underdog who questions authority, and the daring capers of those who break the law to find the truth, then you’ll love this breathtakingly fresh thriller from David Hickson.

The Silver Stallion

Historical Fiction

The dogs of war have been muzzled, and now they will be destroyed.

Luca Baldi has some very prestigious enemies – the emperor’s wife, the Queen of Thessaly, Dario Spinola (the richest man in the eastern Mediterranean), the Duke of Athens, and the entire French aristocracy. This is a remarkable achievement for a landless, penniless peasant. Unfortunately, they all want him dead, along with the rest of the Catalan Company.

Luca and his mercenary companions have no allies, no money and no land, and as their many enemies close in on them, it appears their days are numbered. The scene is set for a final apocalyptic battle that will decide the fate of Luca Baldi, the Catalan Company, the Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Thessaly and the Latin lords of southern Greece.

‘The Silver Stallion’ is the final volume in the Catalan Chronicles series – the adventures of Luca Baldi and a band of Catalan mercenaries in the Byzantine Empire at the beginning of the fourteenth century.
