Former engineer, Martial Arts instructor and senior business manager, Paul Taylor, believed retiring to a small country village should allow him the time to get all the jobs done, that you'd always been promising to do. So, in 2016 he set about publishing his first thrilling trilogy of books about famous art-thefts. Real events, with fictitious investigations. The first book, Eyes Without a Face, details the theft of five paintings from Paris, which, eagle-eyed viewers would have spotted in the James Bond films, Skyfall and Spectre. Paul weaves his plots of intrigue and cruelty with humour and empathy, giving the reader little chance of guessing the answers to multiple double-crosses and twists that unfold along the breathless ride. He is fast becoming the British master of the multiple double-cross, and last page twist.
