Launch of The Combermere Legacy

I'm pleased to announce that the launch of The Combermere Legacy, the third in the Daniel Cheswis series of murder mysteries, will now take place on Friday January 22nd at the Nantwich Bookshop, as part of our annual Civil War authors evening.
Also appearing will be Jemahl Evans, the author of The Last Roundhead, and Dr Andrew Hopper, the eminent historian, the author of Black Tom, the biography of Sir Thomas Fairfax.
The first thing you will notice is the change of title, with The Crockett Legacy now becoming The Combermere Legacy. This is the result of my editor's input (he thought the title was too reminiscent of a certain character from American history).
Here's a first picture of the cover. The background picture is Combermere Abbey, which a significant part of the action takes place. Eagle-eyed observers may also notice that the soldiers in the foreground are the same group that appear on the cover of The Winter Siege. They are from the Earl of Manchester's Regiment of the Sealed Knot.
