Books Thriller Books A dead man's secrets fall into the hands of a vigilante antihero--drawing him down a dangerous road. Over twenty years ago, the heiress Patricia Lockwood was abducted during a robbery of her family's estate, then locked inside an isolated cabin for months. Patricia escaped, but so did her captors -- & the items stolen from her family were never recovered. Until now. On the Upper West Side, a recluse is found murdered in his penthouse apartment, alongside two objects of note: a stolen Vermeer painting & a leather suitcase bearing the initials WHL3. For the first time in years, the authorities have a lead -- not only on Patricia's kidnapping, but also on another FBI cold case -- with the suitcase & painting both pointing them toward one man. Windsor Horne Lockwood III -- or Win, as his few friends call him -- doesn't know how his suitcase & his family's stolen painting ended up with a dead man. But his interest is piqued, especially when the FBI tells him that the man who kidnapped his cousin was also behind an act of domestic terrorism -- & that the conspirators may still be at large. The two cases have baffled the FBI for decades, but Win has three things the FBI doesn't: a personal connection to the case; an ungodly fortune; & his own unique brand of justice.

From its earliest days during the Roman occupation when it was known as Venta Belgarum, to its current status as an important seat of learning & county town of Hampshire, Winchester has a proud & distinctive identity.

It also boasts regal connections right up until the reign of Charles II & a 900-year-plus military presence from William I until the 1980s. This extraordinary history is embodied in the rich architecture that has shaped this beautifully preserved city, famed for its Gothic cathedral.

The war of 1914-18 changed Britain forever. The movement for Irish Home Rule strengthened, women were in jobs they had never done before &, at the end of the war, were granted the vote for the first time.

Political & military careers were won & lost & in all of these, Winchester played its part. Whilst this is a book about the Great War, that terrible conflagration which claimed so many lives, it is also expertly covers how that war touched the citizens of Winchester.

It can be said that every city, town, village & hamlet contributed to the war effort but some cities, of which Winchester is certainly one, were of crucial importance to the final victory.

Product Description

Winchester, the ancient capital of Wessex, has a rich & fascinating history.

From the time of its Iron Age settlements, rulers, bishops & inhabitants over the last two millennia have left their mark on the city. Anglo Saxon street plans, medieval gateways & castles still preside, as do buildings of religious & scholarly importance.

It is this history, tinged with myths & legends, & tales of our most celebrated monarch King Alfred, which attracts people from all around the world. Centuries later, early photographs show social scenes & economic growth. This progress brought inevitable redevelopment, especially in the 1950s & 1960s, leaving some streets untouched & others with hardly a single old building left standing.

On the whole Winchester has preserved its heritage, providing a fine backdrop for contemporary events. Where scenes are seemingly unchanged it is always satisfying to view them again through a modern lens.
