THE CALVI CONTINUANCE: ALEX BALEThis book, the second novella, forms part of a series of epilogues that follow the exploits of the main characters from The Calvi Parallax. Each novella will help set the scene for the second book in the Ereptio series and has the working title, The Avignon Quorum.
On his return to London after the events in Rome Alex Bale finds himself the subject of ever increasing surveillance from MI5. The landscape of Alex’s relationship with Helen changed forever the moment she told him of her pregnancy. The two of them are happy and content; Alex with work, and the now heavily pregnant Helen overseeing the construction work at their new family home in Holland Park. The euphoria and excitement that accompanied Alex’s understanding of Nick’s code outside the Etihad Stadium has calmed and replaced by apprehension and caution in anything linked to the events in Rome. Over the past few weeks Alex’s company UniSec has become the focus of unwanted attention from a persistent investor. The Cirrus hedge fund has made several approaches through the respected London law firm Clayton Bloodworth, headed by the suave Dorian Clark. Intrigued at the ever-increasing offers Alex Bale and Matt Taylor head to Zurich to meet with the head of Cirrus. Copyright © Sean Buckley MMXXIII
