Jack has followed the strange circumstances surrounding Rudolph Hess' flight for many years, becoming ever more fascinated as his investigation unearthed more and more evidence of a cover-up and conspiracy at the highest levels of government.His detailed analysis of the official story and forensic unravelling of the many lies and inconsistencies drew him to consider the plausible alternative scenarios that ultimately inspired this novel.Jack said: "It is very clear to me that the public have been deceived to protect the status quo of the British Establishment. Uncovering this deception was my inspiration, it filled me with anger and drive, a desire to tell this story and shine a spotlight to expose these tawdry secrets."He added: "The truth of the matter is that there are always innocent victims in any deception and I would like to think Harry and Sarah are in some way a small tribute to the many people who have suffered in this way to protect the State."Jack lives in London and is a high-altitude adrenaline junkie who enjoys skydiving and bungee jumping, when he's not to be found slumped over his laptop as he finishes just one last chapter before bed.
