Author Description

Product Description 1942: A bored British soldier in Baghdad; a beautiful Babylonian Goddess; a sacred marriage unconsummated. Five years later, in dreary post-war London, the Goddess must be satisfied. Can anyone save her demobbed consort from eternal torment? Or eternal bliss? Can he save himself? Does he even want to be saved? And what’s it got to do with the ‘wickedest man in the world’? Adrian Gross' first novel is a fast-paced thriller set during and just after the Second World War. The action shifts across the Allied-occupied Middle East and war-ravaged England where our accidental hero lands himself in a world he'd never imagined and of which he has very little understanding. It's a world of incomprehensible danger yet also of irresistible excitement. Who could say no to that?
