Cruel Deflections

By Geoff Brown

In the mid-1970s an idealistic young lawyer uncovers endemic corruption in the heel of Italy. He flees his homeland before the Mafia can silence him, settling in Scotland and becoming a successful restaurateur. Nearly four decades later he and his daughters are again embroiled in a mammoth international police operation to nail the same brutal mafia clan and its collaborator, a prominent UK businessman. The novel chronicles a cycle of escape, betrayal, revenge, retribution and eventual redemption. A shocking revelation sets the scene for a dramatic finale. The story shows how chance events can hijack lives and spin them away from what seemed to be their set course.
