Green Ink 💚🖊️

By Stephen May.

Green Ink offers a captivating reimagining of one of the most mysterious episodes in early 20th-century British political history.

Set during a weekend at Chequers, Prime Minister David Lloyd George is preoccupied with the impending scandal surrounding his involvement in the sale of public honours, a secret about to be uncovered by the enigmatic Victor Grayson.

Grayson, a bisexual hedonist and former Socialist MP turned secret service informant, is determined to resurrect his revolutionary credentials. Little does he know that in doing so, he is stirring up a hornet's nest that will ultimately cost him his life.

The book cleverly explores the question that has lingered for decades: what truly happened to Victor Grayson?

Did he fall victim to a government conspiracy, be betrayed by his former comrades, drown in the Thames, or disappear to start a new life in Kent as an antiques dealer?

Through this thought-provoking narrative, Green Ink combines wit, intrigue, and a sharp eye for historical detail to paint a vivid portrait of the past. With humour and humanity, it reminds readers that history, much like the present, was once teeming with life, passion, and uncertainty.

This is a compelling read for those fascinated by the intricacies of British political history and the unsolved mysteries of the past.
