The Life and Death of Abercrombie Lyle

By Stephen Small

A love to die for. A betrayal to kill for.

THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ABERCROMBIE LYLE is a story of love, power, and betrayal set in fascist Italy with an alternative history twist - the Axis powers win WWII.

Traumatized Great War veteran Abercrombie finds friendship and solace in turbulent post-war Milan with charismatic journalist Brio and his beautiful wife Carla. But when Brio accepts a job from Mussolini, he throws Carla into Abercrombie's arms and lights a twenty-year fuse of deceit and revenge.

Many years later, in the dark labyrinth of Naples's centro storico, one of them must find the missing pages of a mysterious book that predicts their future - and one of them must die - before the past can be confronted and a new future is forged.
