Share
Wine. Wit. Wagers. Protagonist Felix Hart is back with a bang, falling in and out of both favour and trouble alike, in new novel Eastern Promise.
Written by former supermarket wine executive Peter Stafford-Bow, Eastern Promise is a wine-fuelled adventure between London and China that seeks to expose an international wine fraud conspiracy.
Blending comedy and satire, Eastern Promise explores themes of technological dystopia, corruption and corporate greed. Those of you who know a bit about booze may draw some parallels with the real world of wine – but even if you don’t, you’ll enjoy the story for what it is; a pacy comic thriller with a lovably amoral hero and razor-sharp dialogue.
Synopsis: Felix Hart, Head of Wine, at the country’s largest supermarket chain, knows his burgers from his Bourgogne. He also has a nose for trouble. So when the world’s most ruthless luxury goods corporation offers Felix a life-changing sum of money to investigate a billionaire wine fraudster he suspects there might be a catch. But a wine buyer’s salary only goes so far, and Felix’s moral compass directs him east, to China’s golden, haze-shrouded megacities. There, Felix is faced with his greatest challenge yet; a conspiracy as mind-bending as it is terrifying, and which threatens to consume the entire world.
Eastern Promise is the fourth novel in The Felix Hart series, following international bestseller Corkscrew, Brut Force and Firing Blancs – previously the latest instalment in what’s now become a successful quartet. So whether you’ve followed Felix before or are yet to meet his acquaintance (beware; he’s undeniably charming), his latest antics will keep you chuckling, cheering and chatting in your next book club.
Eastern Promise is available to purchase from Monday 3rd July via Amazon and bookshops nationwide at RRP £9.99. Pick up your next literary adventure this summer, today!
