The Straits of Treachery by Richard Hopton

21 January 2021 By Editor

Buy The Straits of Treachery by Richard Hopton

September 1810. Raids across the Straits of Messina to disrupt preparations for the French invasion of the island have been repulsed with heavy casualties.

George Warne, a bright young British officer, suspects treachery back in Messina, and is ordered to investigate.

Warne uncovers a shadowy underworld of spies, traitors and informers where nothing is quite as it seems and where danger lurks around every corner.

If the long-threatened French invasion erupts will Sicily’s defenders be prepared?

The Straits of Treachery by Richard Hopton is published on 21 January, 2021.

This book won the 2019–20 SAHR Prize for Military Fiction.
