The Colour of Fire
‘Really extraordinary. It grabs you from the first page.’ – Edward Klekowski
London, May 1945.
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. He cannot forget the horrors of the past six years and the friends he was unable to save.
And what about Celia Blaney, field security officer and the object of his affections, reported MIA?
Then Caine receives an offer to become part of a war crimes investigation team, tasked with uncovering the fate of service men and women who went missing in France.
But his team quickly finds that Allied forces and the Military Police, the very people who should be supporting their endeavour, are inexplicably obstructing their progress.
Is there something they don’t want them to know? Something connected to the missing SAS men?
…and Blaney?
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.
