My latest short story Vindicta, a spine-tingling tale about a ghost ship, is now available for your reading pleasure, having been published by Medium publication Fictions. Set shortly after the end of World War II, it concerns a jewel thief and murderer whose past catches up with him whilst fleeing for South America.
What inspired this story? Initially my youngest son, who said I hadn’t written a ghost ship story before, so I should have a go. Because I’d been researching British merchant navy losses to German U-boats during World War II, I was struck with inspiration for the time period, as well as some of the other subject matter. This included Jewish treasures looted under Nazi occupation, sold through dubious sources. The title is Latin for vengeance, so a certain amount of guesswork concerning the narrative can be extrapolated from that. Although I hope the finale still surprises.
All three parts are now available to read.
I hope you enjoy it.
