INVICTUS: Part 1 Introducing Richard

Richard Cummings lives the life of a successful banker -- except he isn't. He and his family enjoy the trappings of a middleclass existence: a delightful four-bedroomed house on the outskirts of Gloucester, England, the benefits of his success -- except they aren't.

The facade that is his public life masks the secrets of another clandestine existence, a duty.

Events conspire to force Richard's surreptitious reality to the surface, with deadly consequences. The shocking discovery that her husband is not who or what she had always believed him to be plunges Julia into the unknown, a world of terror, of politicians, of Somali pirates, of death, torture, and ultimately, of revenge.

Like a spike driven into the icy cover of a frozen pond, her world is fractured, shattered, and weakened; as a wife, as a mother, as a human being, she has to find a way to do what is best for her family, no matter what the cost.

As the layers of deceit and treachery are peeled back, so the need for revenge is intensified, all Richard has to do is survive long enough.

How can Richard Cummings not be Richard Cummings - Banker?
