“Westcott has done it again, masterfully capturing the essence of magnificent Bath”

Patrick McCloy

“Westcott burnishes his well won reputation as the  Grand Master of intrigue with this much anticipated sequel to acclaimed Go Swift and Far ; nothing less than brilliant as with the deft hand of an ancient god  he manoeuvres  the fate of the great and  less than good of Bath across the chess board of life.

Ian’s life is such a captivating story.”
