Ignis Fatuus begs the question: If you had the means to commit a crime with little or no chance of being discovered, would you do it? Could such a thing exist? With meticulous planning and execution, total self-reliance, and faith in your abilities, just such an opportunity could be engineered, as the main character in the novel finds out. But to do something like this, you must really want to do it. The rewards would be generous, but failure would bring disaster. Martin C C Graham of Hertfordshire based many of the characters in this book on people he knows. Originally from London, he says, "I used to cycle around the London landmarks as a young child in the early hours of a Sunday morning unbeknownst to my sleeping parents " The father of three, he was an officer in the Fire & Rescue Service and has now retired after 25 years of service. In his spare time, he writes poetry and is an avid reader. "We have recently bought a ramshackle house in Northern France, which we escape to when holidays permit and try to make it habitable with DIY in a foreign language."

The daily grind that propels you to a too little pension and aged decrepitude, which offers no blue-skied haven to enjoy the rewards of your labours?
