Thank you for joining me today I have a great extract from The Lisbon Labyrinth by David Ebsworth to share with you today. First things first let's take a look at the description for the book...
THE LISBON LABYRINTH
BY DAVID EBSWORTH
Genre: Political thriller
Release Date: 1 May 2017
Publisher: sBooks
Lisbon,
1974. Journalist Jack Telford must hunt down a killer, solve a deadly riddle,
renew his acquaintance with an old flame, and survive Portugal’s revolution in
this taut thriller with a life-and-death finale, which Jack may survive, but
only at great cost.
There
is a dossier, upon which the whole of Portugal’s future may hang, and Jack's
quest to find both the killer and the lost documents will drag him into a
labyrinth of deception and danger. Will his best-intentioned actions perhaps
have the worst of consequences?
Is
it too late for Jack’s past to be finally redeemed by love? And, in a world
where nobody can be trusted, can Jack even trust himself?

EXTRACT
Jack
Telford had been tortured in the past. In Spain, more than thirty-five years
earlier. In ’38. It had cost him his left eye and much more besides. His
interrogator now, as then, was a lieutenant. On this occasion, the fellow had introduced
himself as Tenente Estéves. Slim and slight. A neat civilian suit, naturally,
but a lieutenant – a lieutenant firmly in the pay of a secret police force
deployed by the regime that had ruled Portugal with an iron fist over the past
four decades.
ABOUT
DAVID EBSWORTH
David
Ebsworth is the pen name of writer Dave McCall, a former negotiator for
Britain’s Transport & General Workers’ Union. He was born in Liverpool but
has lived in Wrexham, North Wales, with his wife Ann since 1981.
Following
his retirement, Dave began to write historical fiction in 2009 and has
subsequently published five novels: political thrillers dealing with the 1745
Jacobite rebellion, the 1879 Anglo-Zulu War, the battle of Waterloo, warlord
rivalry in sixth-century Britain, and the Spanish Civil War. His sixth book,
Until the Curtain Falls – published in May 2017 – returns to that same Spanish conflict,
following the story of journalist Jack Telford who, as it happens, is also the
main protagonist in The Lisbon Labyrinth.
Each
of Dave’s novels have been critically acclaimed by the Historical Novel Society
and been awarded the coveted B.R.A.G. Medallion for independent authors. His
work-in-progress is a series of a further nine novellas, covering the years
from 1911 until 1919 and the lives of a Liverpudlian–Welsh family embroiled in
the Suffragette movement.
