THE TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTHWhite Suicide spins a story of espionage, secrecy and revenge in the months and years following the kidnapping and subsequent assassination of Aldo Moro. Known to be one of Italy’s, and the Cold War’s, visionary leaders, Aldo Moro served as Italian prime minister for two terms in the 1960s and 1970s. Despite his visionary status, he was a risk to NATO due to his close connection to the Italian Communist Party (PCI). Moro was kidnapped on 16 March 1978, the day he was set to attend a vote of confidence for a coalition government with the PCI. He was later assassinated after 54 days in captivity.Initially set in the anni di piombo (years of lead), a period of social and political turmoil in Italy that took place over twenty years, from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, the novel stokes suspicion about who was really behind Moro’s kidnapping and subsequent murder. The Red Brigades, CIA and P2 Masonic Lodge each have their hands drenched in this powerful retelling of modern Italian history.Spanning the period from 1944–1987, with its dark heart being the perennially troubled Italian–American relationship, White Suicide is a fast-paced, gripping political thriller of conspiracy and intrigue that will delight readers of John le Carré, Dan Brown, David Baldacci and Michael Dobbs.

Boston, March 1990: During the St Patrick’s Day revelries, thirteen priceless works of art – a Vermeer, Rembrandts, a Manet – are stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. With no leads for the police to follow, it seems as though they’ve all but evaporated into a bleak New England night…On the South Fork of Long Island – one hundred and fifty miles away – Jake Dealer is amongst the last of a three-hundred-year tradition of America’s seafaring history. A fisherman born with an innate ability to read the Atlantic’s unforgiving waters, from which he ekes out a living; his horizons defined only by his family and the ocean.A plot put into motion in Boston – where money and power hold different meanings – will change the course of his life. And when, in the wake of a devastating tragedy, Jake is unwittingly ensnared in the greatest unsolved art theft in history, he’s left fighting to cling on to the only certainties he has ever known.A white-knuckle thriller and a haunting portrait of a disappearing American frontier, No Man’s Land weaves together themes of survival, redemption and the brutal price of silence. Simon Gaul charts new territory in the American literary seascape, creating an indelible portrait of both a vanishing way of life and the depths of human resilience. Just how far will someone go to protect what matters most?
