The book’s synopsis says: “A superbly-researched mystery thriller set mainly in England and German-occupied Holland during World War Two: The Great Deception is exactly that. A fascinating tale about the GREATest deception immaginable.
“The book begins on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia in 1947, two years after the end of the Second World War, when one morning Shelly Wareing, wife of Cole Wareing, now a country farmer, receives a visit from Cole’s wartime friend and comrade, American, Tudor Harrington.
“Cole vanishes the very same night, leaving only a note for Shelly to say that he will come back no matter how long it takes. Shelly is bewildered.
“Searching for clues, Shelly discovers a box containing Nazi memoribilia and a photo of a radiantly beautiful woman lovingly signed to her husband. Shelly is astounded; who exactly is the man she married? She decides to follow Cole, who is now half-way across the world pursued closely by Tudor and his associates who are determined to kill him.”
