About this ebook

Meet the Honourable Thadeus Burke, son of a lord launching his career running an insurance business at Lloyd's of London. Yet, if Thadeus Burke hoped to find security and a quiet life there, he could not have been more mistaken. For where the stakes are high the cunning is low. The underworld finds its way into underwriting, and Thadeus finds himself drawn into the riddles and rewards of fighting crime. Mystery by mystery Thadeus, his irrepressible sister Freddie and the CID's Inspector Jackson follow cases from the world of horse racing to the world of jazz, from the early days of British fascism to the latest jinks in the lesbian demimonde, from arsenic in stately homes to shootouts in abandoned aerodromes. Written with an eye for historical detail and an understanding of hoods and horseflesh, The Adventures of Thadeus Burke carries the reader into the heart of life in Britain's last elegant decade, the nineteentwenties.

Author

Terry Minahan

Terry Minahan lived from an early age in London then for the last twenty years has resided with his wife Lydia in Newmarket; this suited his work with bloodstock insurance and her work as an artist.He left school at sixteen years of age and went straight to a firm of Lloyds’ Brokers, starting in the accounts department then spent many years wandering around the Underwriting Room as a broker, gathering friends and enemies in consideration of a modest monetary reward.He was always an avid reader of detective fiction along with a love of Shakespeare and Plato, and more recently with a passionate interest in classic and baroque music and the study of music theory, coupled with attempts at playing the clarinet.His first book, The Adventures of Thadeus Burke was published in May 2008, and the Further Adventures a year later; the present effort is another sequel following the antics of the same heroes. Look out for the fourth, and maybe final, instalment of the adventures of Thadeus Burke which is progressing well.
