  • Author Bio

September 1810. British forces have used the utmost secrecy and stealth to cross the Straits of Messina and infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold. Their mission: to disrupt preparations for the French invasion of Sicily. But when the raiding parties are ambushed by rival soldiers and suffer heavy casualties, one bright young officer suspects that treachery is involved.
Ordered to investigate, George Warne uncovers a shadowy underworld of spies, traitors and informers, and where nothing is quite as it seems. Danger lurks around every corner and time is running out for Warne to root out the conspiracy. For how can Sicily’s defenders be ready to repel an invisible enemy within?

Richard Hopton is an author, historian and journalist. He has published three works of non-fiction, and The Straits of Treachery will be his first historical novel. Richard graduated from the University of Oxford with an M.A. in Modern History. His interests include architecture, the British countryside, art, politics, cricket, racing and springer spaniels. He lives in Dorset with his wife and two children.
