The Executioner's House de Edward Glover

The Executioner's House

Autor Edward Glover
en Limba Engleză Paperback – dec 2017
Germany, October 1946. The Nuremburg war crimes tribunal has just ended. Major Richard Fortescue, previously part of the British prosecution team, is returning to London when he encounters Karin Eilers, a young German woman with a dark past. Against the backdrop of war-devastated Berlin and the continuing search for former Nazis, their brief affair and a mysterious black notebook make them unwitting pawns in a deadly game of intrigue and betrayal played by British and Soviet intelligence. What wartime secrets will the notebook unravel? Who else will become a victim of the battle for its possession? Edward Glover, author of the Herzberg novel trilogy, draws on his Foreign Office posting in Berlin to bring this suspenseful story vividly to life.

Notă biografică

Edward Glover was born in London in 1943. After gaining a history degree followed by an MPhil at Birkbeck College, London University, he embarked on a career in the British diplomatic service, during which his overseas postings included Washington DC, Berlin, Brussels and the Caribbean. He subsequently advised on foreign ministry reform in post- invasion Iraq, Kosovo and Sierra Leone. For seven years he headed a one-million-acre rainforest-conservation project in South America, on behalf of the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Guyana Government. With an interest in 16th- and 18th-century history, baroque music and 18th-century art, Edward was encouraged by the purchase of two paintings and a passport to try his hand at writing historical fiction. Edward and his wife, former Foreign & Commonwealth Office lawyer and leading international human rights adviser Dame Audrey Glover, now live in Norfolk, a place that gives him further inspiration for his writing. Edward sits on the board of trustees of the Welsh environmental charity Size of Wales and is vice-chairman of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office Association, an associate fellow of the University of Warwick's Yesu Persaud Centre for Caribbean Studies and a board member of The King's Lynn Preservation Trust. When he isn't writing, Edward is an avid tennis player and - at the age of 71 - completed the 2014 London Marathon, raising £7,000 for Ambitious about Autism.
