Publisher's Synopsis
Ignis Fatuus begs the question: If you had the means to commit a crime with little or no chance of being discovered, would you do it? Could such a thing exist? With meticulous planning and execution, total self-reliance, and faith in your abilities, just such an opportunity could be engineered, as the main character in the novel finds out. But to do something like this, you must really want to do it. The rewards would be generous, but failure would bring disaster. Martin C C Graham of Hertfordshire based many of the characters in this book on people he knows. Originally from London, he says, "I used to cycle around the London landmarks as a young child in the early hours of a Sunday morning unbeknownst to my sleeping parents!" The father of three, he was an officer in the Fire & Rescue Service and has now retired after 25 years of service. In his spare time, he writes poetry and is an avid reader. "We have recently bought a ramshackle house in Northern France, which we escape to when holidays permit and try to make it habitable with DIY in a foreign language." Ignis Fatuus: A mysterious light that tempts the weary traveler from the safe path and into peril. Bored with the ennui of everyday existence? The daily grind that propels you to a too little pension and aged decrepitude, which offers no blue-skied haven to enjoy the rewards of your labours? If you had the means to commit a crime with little or no chance of being found out, would you do it? Could such an opportunity exist? With meticulous planning and execution, total self-reliance and faith in your abilities, just such an opportunity could be engineered. But you have really got to want to do it. The rewards will bring financial freedom ... or incarceration. If all goes as planned, you get your old job back! Follow the path of Connor, a man who ventures away from the constraints of society's norms, who dares to take the gamble and establish that which police forces the world over are helpless against: an invisible criminal. The story follows Connor escaping to the highlands of Scotland after a journey that starts in sub Saharan Africa. Born in London, Martin C C Graham lives in Hertfordshire with his family. This is his first book. He is writing the sequel, Iens Atrum, which is the police investigation that looks at unsolved crimes, unearths Ignis Fatuus, but goes into a darker scheme about controlling enemies of the state.
