The Shameful Suicide of Winston Churchill

A gripping murder mystery mixed with personal and political upheaval set in an alternative Britain that is the front line of the Cold War. 1949: As Soviet tanks roll through London, Winston Churchill emerges from his bunker, draws a revolver and dramatically takes his own life. Now in 1989, with England split in two between the Americans and the Soviets, a hard-working honest cop is told by an untrustworthy informer that a recent murder is linked to a dissident plot involving the notorious suicide of the `villainous' Churchill himself. But should he believe his informer or the slimy Secret Police major who feeds him an altogether different version of history? "A fascinating novel."-The Midwest Book Review
