Crime writer-sleuth Francis Meadowes discovers something dark
hiding under the beautiful Umbrian sun when one of his writing
group is found dead in Italy. Francis Meadowes is soaking up the
late summer sun in Italy, running a creative writing course at the
beautiful Villa Giulia, deep in the remote Umbrian countryside.
Recruited by the villa's owners, Stephanie and Gerry, Francis's
students include snooty, irritating Poppy and her ex-ambassador
husband Duncan, eccentric Northern Irishman Liam, quirky,
self-styled 'Hampstead Jewess' Zoe, bossy Scottish Diana, kooky
young American Sasha, mysterious 'spy' Tony and restless civil
servant Roz. But what should be a magical week under the Italian
sun turns into something far more sinister when one of the group is
found dead, and the local police quickly turn to Francis for help.
Uncovering betrayal, lies, secrets and old scores to be settled,
Francis soon realizes something very dark is lurking beneath the
genteel and civilized veneer . . .

In April 2011, four soldiers - each a veteran of recent conflicts,
who suffered devastating injuries in the line of duty - set out on
an extraordinary challenge: a two-hundred mile trek, unsupported,
to the North Pole. Joined by patron Prince Harry, the charity
founders, a polar guide and a film crew, the team achieved their
goal despite facing hurdles an able-bodied athlete would baulk at,
and having seen their resilience tested to the limit. They returned
with a story that proves strength of mind can be every bit as
powerful as strength of body, and as an inspiration to us all.
