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. 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 roller coaster 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.
