About this ebook

The 1960s was one of the most tumultuous and divisive decades in world history. In London’s east end, Jude and Anna, two young lovers born in poverty, struggle to forge a worthwhile future. Jude Croaker’s mother had always told him that his father was a Lord, the Marquess of Melchester. Jude and Anna’s discovery of who his father is leads them both into dishonesty and deceit.

Blackmail and death thwart their attempts to lift themselves out of poverty. Anna’s fate depends upon the actions of the United Kingdom government.

A sensational murder trial at the Old Bailey results in the death penalty by hanging.

Can the ‘Abolition of Capital Punishment Act 1965’, prevent an execution taking place?

Redemption arrives from an old adversary of the Marquess.

Author

Alan Brookes

Alan Brookes was born in a coalmining village in Cannock Chase, Staffordshire, in the midlands of England. He began his working life at the age of fifteen in an underground coalmine before qualifying as a land surveyor. He later became a teacher and a master of philosophy at Birmingham University. Before becoming an author, Alan achieved chief examiner posts with several English university examination boards. Apart from writing, his lifelong passion is playing the euphonium on the unique English brass band scene. From humble beginnings as a boy in the local colliery band, Alan has played in various musical ensembles across Europe. Alan has written and published eight nonfiction books on the history of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire. Bellesauvage is his first published work of fiction, which incorporates many of the historical events seen in his previous novels. He divides his time between his homes in Cannock, Staffordshire, and the Loire Valley in France.
