About The Author
Acclaimed crime fiction and historical fiction author Paul Hencher describes writing as a form of “redemption”, his previous work life being, in his own words, an “illustrious non-career”.
Having travelled widely, he finally settled down in the scenic Abruzzo region of Italy in 2007, where he and his wife, Maggie, rebuilt and renovated a derelict stone farmhouse.
His first novel, a work of historical fiction, Shackles of Loyalty, was published in 2020. Since then, he has turned to gritty crime fiction with an Italian twist. The result is the gripping and moving Sweet Song, Bitter Loss, the first novel in the Major D’Angelo Mysteries series.
