In my final contribution to the Tuesday Night Bloggers Mystery and History month, I thought I’d take the opportunity to sing the praises of one of the masters of the genre. An author whose every book sheds new light on the dim and distant past and captivates the reader from page one. And no, for once, I’m not talking about Paul Doherty…

Michael Jecks is an author who I first came across… well, I’m not sure when. It’s odd how the memory cheats, but I think it was about ten years ago. That’s based solely on which library I remember borrowing the books from, but the more I think about it, the more sure I am that I read some of his books before then. Whenever it was, I did make a dreadful mistake early on – one that I’ve thankfully rectified since, but more on that later.
