THE CHÂTEAU SARONY BOOKS (Continued)
When Anna Freemont strode along Grantfield High Street in a seething fury she had no idea that her life was about to change out of all recognition. Her expletive-laden comment to the man working on road repairs outside The Magpie public-house was the start of a relationship that catapulted her from a middle-class academic life into the series of adventures that now form the Château Sarony Series of novels.
The Anna Price Factor
ISBN: 9798353796855
The reappearance of Suzie Brightside reawakened Anna's doubts concerning her own ability to make a significant contribution to the task taken on by her husband, Martin. Unlike Suzie, she was not one of the warriors from his time in the army and in contrast to the redheaded woman possessed no fighting skills that could be relied upon if things turned nasty. Adding to her ever-present lack of confidence was the knowledge that not only was the capable Suzie Brightside more than able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Martin but as a former comrade shared secrets and possessed memories to which she, Anna, was unlikely to ever become privy.
Despite no longer being a member of the military, when British Intelligence in the form of the Brightside woman called, Martin would never refuse to help his old friend and comrade

The Centurion's Silver
ISBN: 9798857447864
As a favour for Professor Hubert Smithson-Hunt, Martin and Anna Price attempt to discover whether the pristine Roman Denarii purchased by their old friend are authentic. During the course of what they believe will be no more than a short routine task, they encounter two ruthless killings in Truro which the police are content to regard as the result of a bungled burglary. Their enquiries lead them to conclude that there could be a link to the disappearance in 1973 of a young couple of newlyweds from Yorkshire and possibly a fatal car accident in Spain that same year.
Could these events have any connection with the punitive mission led by Centurion Marcus Rustius Dexter during the reign of Vespasian in the first century? In the words of Martin Price, 'Anything is possible'.

The unexpected appearance in Sarony of Martin’s ex-wife Yvonne provokes a confrontation at Auberge Fleurie between Martin and Gerard, Yvonne’s companion.
