Deadly Endings

A great love story and chronicle of women’s empowerment
over the first half of the twentieth century, with the pace and
excitement of a modern day thriller.
Looking back from London’s Swinging Sixties, a retired couple
raise their granddaughters in blissful ignorance of reality. Their
secretive and dangerous existence, positions them against the
Italian Mafia in Paris and Franco’s Fascists in Barcelona, whose
Catholic nuns are stealing babies from impoverished mothers
and selling them for profit. Cruelly influenced and trained by
two world wars with unfinished battles still haunting their lives,
how do Sam and Phaedra finally tell the truth to their naïve
loved ones, even when their young lives depend on it. They are
after all, professional assassins.
A rollercoaster ride covering a period of sixty years around
Europe; fused with Edwardian sophistication and historically
based atrocities; Raymond Russell´s Deadly Endings keeps the
pages turning until the shocking finale.
