THE LISBON LABYRINTH
BY DAVID EBSWORTH
Lisbon, 1974.

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?

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.
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.
