The Hammer of God — Alan Scholefield
John Franklin was in charge of finding a camp-site for Lord Lamming and Lady Lamming.
They'd been travelling for hours from London.
The journey to Africa was arduous, and Franklin wondered why Lord Lamming had chosen this location for a honeymoon.
Catherine Lamming, Lord Lamming's new wife, was almost thirty years younger than Lord Lamming. Her desires and needs weren't quite in tune with Lord Lamming's.
Harry Lamming was a formidable man if crossed, and Franklin had little desire to do so. But Lady Lamming was pushing him in a manner he hadn't expected.
Lord Lamming was a tough, arrogant Victoria sportsman, who was on a mission to find the Walia Ibex, one of the rarest trophies in the world.
Franklin himself was an ex-Army officer is returning to Abyssinia. Once an advisor to King Theodore, this journey brings Franklin back to Theodore.
But, if the rumours are true, there has been a change in King Theodore… who was once a rational ruler.
King Theodore had risen from his humble beginnings to become ruler of Abyssinia. With the death of his closest, Bell, Theodore ordered the mutilation of thousands of rebels - only later, with remorse, did he wonder why he'd been chosen as God's hammer…
Upton Sears had much dislike for Franklin. Anything he could do to trip Franklin up in the eyes of Lord Lamming was an opportunity Sears took whenever possible.
As secretary to Lord Lamming, his scheming and ambitious nature put him in a good position to discredit Franklin.
The small bank of English travellers make their way to Abyssinia, across the wild and primitive lands of Africa. Unaware of the uproar that awaits them, they travel in blissful ignorance.
Lord Lamming intends to seek King Theodore's permission to short before moving on to Simien - until their plans are disrupted and they're thrown into the terrifying ordeals that surround this once great city …

‘An intricate story, cleverly interwoven, with the strong cast of characters headed by an attractive pair of detectives.'-Carla Mckay, Daily Mail
‘Emphatic proof that Scholefield's top-class debut,Dirty Weekend,was no fluke.'-Andrew Hope, Evening Standard
‘An excellent police novel; tough, tense and all too human.' -Gary Dobbs, Rhondda Leader
