Produktbeschreibung

"The deeper the legacy, the deadlier the enemy..."

For centuries, the Aldridge family has stood as a pillar of English power and privilege - a dynasty of bankers, soldiers, and statesmen. But behind the grandeur of London's marble halls, a darker force has always waited in the shadows: The Syndicate, an ancient network that trades in secrets, power, and bloodlines.

When ninety-year-old Lord Richard Aldridge discovers a wine bottle bearing the face of the woman he lost in wartime France, a chain of events is set in motion that will uncover half a century of lies. From the elite clubs of Pall Mall to the sunlit vineyards of Western Australia, Richard must face the ghosts of his past - and a global conspiracy that never died.

Across three generations and two continents, The Heir and the Shadows weaves a sweeping tale of family legacy, espionage, forbidden love, and the price of truth. Blending historical drama with the tension of a modern thriller, Nic Smurthwaite's debut novel delivers a richly layered story about how the past refuses to stay buried - and how courage can outlast even the darkest deceit.

Perfect for readers of Ken Follett, Robert Harris, and Kate Morton, this is the first installment in The Inheritance of Shadows saga - a powerful exploration of memory, honour, and the enduring light of love across generations.

Autorenporträt

Nic writes stories rooted in real places, real histories, and the sort of family loyalties that don't fade with time. After a long career in IT and project management, he turned to fiction, bringing together the landscapes, voices and quiet moments that leave their mark long after they're over.He lives in East Farleigh, just a field away from West Farleigh and the Tickled Trout - which appears in his books for the simple reason that he's spent enough evenings there to know exactly how the light falls when the river settles at dusk. Whether the conversation at his usual table is fact or fiction depends very much on who's buying the next round.For years, he carried the idea of writing a novel quietly with him - and with The Heir and the Shadows he finally put it to page. He hopes his books remind readers that it's never too late to start something that matters.Nic writes with warmth, memory, and a belief that the best stories are the ones that could almost have happened
