Double Cross is former Financial Times journalist Nicholas Woodsworth’s first historical thriller. Featuring human rights lawyer Robert Nour, it opens with a shocking act in modern-day Jerusalem and leads back to deception, betrayal and murder in war-time Marseille.When Robert Nour takes on a lecturing assignment at Israel’s prestigious Lunel Foundation there is no hint of the event that will soon throw the institution into disarray - the brutal crucifixion of its French-born founder, 90-year-old Solomon Lunel. Pressed into investigating, Nour soon begins uncovering decades-old secrets. Under France's Vichy regime Marseille was a city filled with artists and intellectuals on the run, and it is art theft that lies at the heart of Double Cross. But oil paint and canvas, Nour quickly discovers, are only a vivid backdrop for larger and darker human dramas.How do good people turn bad? What does justice mean if they are never held to account? Must war-criminals be punished, or can they ever be forgiven? These are the questions that Robert Nour, himself pursued by the ghosts of history, must wrestle with as a deadly past comes to life in this richly-colored, fast-paced story.
