Description
Detective Harriet Lacey’s marriage might be falling apart but she has a successful career. When she’s unexpectedly reassigned to an investigation headed by her cheating husband, she expects life to become more difficult... she does not expect it to become fraught with danger. Well respected members of the community are dying in mysterious circumstances and, the nearer she gets to uncovering the truth, the more precarious it becomes for her and her team.
As the investigation intensifies Harriet begins to suspect that, amazingly, her case is connected to a political murder dating way back to the 4th Century BC. But getting evidence to prove this is quite another matter. She then learns of the existence of a secret organisation which also has its roots deep in the past. A society that has been working behind the scenes to try to prevent the violence directed towards her. And to stop those who are seeking to impede the police investigation, although this has had only mixed results. Harriet must decide whether this organisation’s involvement is a force for good, and the extent to which they can be trusted.
When Harriet closes in on the criminals responsible, ancient history clashes with modern day greed, family ties with professional honour, and good with evil. But the ultimate truth, the truth she cannot ignore, lies with her.

I can't believe that I have to wait until 2021 to read the next installment of Harriet's life. I just wanted the story to keep going. It has mystery, danger, and a hit of romance. It's a brilliant read and would recommend it to everyone.
This is a truthful review of a book given to me by the publisher.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Troubador Publishing and S J Mantle for being given the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of The Accidental Warrior.
OMG! What a wonderful storyline. I am at a loss to find the words to describe how fantastic this novel is.
I only had one problem with this book..... I made the mistake of starting The Accidental Warrior while on a break at work. It is very hard to concentrate on what you are supposed to be doing when all you want to do is find out what is happening. I loved it so much, I just ordered the paperback edition.
What a privilege it was to read such an intriguing story. I cannot wait for more from this author
