The Ravenglass Line - Softcover
In a Marseilles prison cell, Jason Ricardo’s prospects are shrinking fast. The French authorities take a dim view of smuggling, and an extended stay seems unavoidable until his brother Hugh, upstanding head of the family shipping firm, turns up to bail him out. However, Hugh’s gesture is not entirely selfless. Their widowed mother, May, has fallen under the spell of Hungarian entrepreneur Charlie Seker, who’s siphoning off Jason and Hugh’s inheritance at an alarming rate. Hugh wants Jason to find out if there’s more to Seker than meets the eye. As Jason infiltrates Seker’s business dealings, he uncovers a horrifying world of depravity and corruption, and soon he’s wondering just what kind of bargain he’s made with his brother and whether he might not be safer behind bars. Especially when Hugh’s alluring wife, Rosie, gets involved.

About the Author:
Oxford-educated David Crackenthorpe, a former London barrister, is the author of the critically acclaimed thrillers Stolen Marches and Horseman Pass By.
From Publishers Weekly:
Jerky, hard-boiled prose spells out the story of a smalltime Mediterranean shipping family in The Ravenglass Line by David Crackanthorpe (Stolen Marches). Bailed out of a Marseilles prison by his younger brother, Hugo, Jason Ricardo finds himself assigned to guard duty of his own mother, who is associating with a shady Hungarian refugee-smuggler and putting Hugo and Jason's inheritance at risk. If interfering in his mother's life weren't enough, Jason can't seem to help putting the moves on his brother's beautiful wife. This salt-cured thriller is broodingly atmospheric, but too choppy to be entirely enjoyable.
