A Note from Winterbottom

By MR William Joseph Brown

Anthony is an ordinary man, who owns a small but successful business. His passion is art, his friends artists and dealers. He buys a beautiful painting at an auction, and his world dissolves. Murder, theft and arson; Anthony is on the run and plunged into an operation carried out by the spooks of the Deep State. The activities of a criminal gang, forgery and trafficking, are threatening the position of a key Cabinet Minister. Jane and David, young field officers of the Secret Intelligence Services, are at the heart of this task. What is the connection between Anthony's purchase and the stability of the Realm? The richly complex plot moves through London, Brighton, Devon and Cornwall, (with a brief excursion to GCHQ in Cheltenham) and involves an eclectic cast of characters; art dealers, politicians, academics, business men, intelligence agents, policemen, senior civil servants, thugs and murderers, a Chinese restaurateur and 'C' himself. The story is told with wit, in an uncompromising style.
