About this audiobook

On a cold English morning, upon the flat open ground near the river, a duel with pistols between the politician Max Bradbury and Sheldon Hobbes’ best friend and confident Mr. Bell was arranged. Bradbury had recently killed Bell’s dear friend in the same manner. Hobbes’ investigation couldn’t prove it, but he believed Bell’s friend, a young officer who was in love with Bradbury’s wife, was framed and maneuvered into the duel days earlier. Hobbes foolishly agreed to be Bell’s Second when loyalty to his friend outweighed his reason. With Bell’s sudden incapacity just before his duel, Hobbes took his place. Now he was in the line of fire. Bradbury grinned with anticipation knowing that with one shot, he would end Sheldon’s investigation and finally get away with murder.

About the author

William McDonald is a professional software developer and recent fiction writer from Arizona. Since his youth he's been more interested in the explorative part of creation than the mastery of its means. He'd have rather played with the sounds and melodies he created on the piano than practice scales and fingering techniques or sight reading. It's not just a blessing or a curse, it's both. Always curious about how things worked and driven to realize a thought or dream, he drove himself through the means to realize those visions, sometimes with success. When he’s not writing software or fiction, he’s probably procrastinating and watching shows, pondering new business ideas or traveling.
