A Beacon in the Night

Praise for A Jewel in the Crown

“David Lewis sizzles in this top-notch historical thriller. Impeccable research and a fast-paced storyline makes this a page turner you won’t want to put down. Enjoy the twists and turns as Caitrin Colline battles enemies known and unknown. I can’t wait to read more from Lewis.” —James D. Shipman, author of Before the Storm

“The book is an oddity for a World War II novel. It’s funny and filled with witty dialogue….Good for smiles and chuckles until war becomes more real.” –Kirkus Reviews

“An exciting, page-turning spy adventure. Meticulously-researched and told in a cinematic-style, Lewis’s novel takes the reader on a colorful, intriguing chase across the English countryside, building to an pulse-pounding, action-filled climax. Caitrin Colline is a heroine you can root for: smart, resourceful and unflappable, she’s part Indiana Jones and part Elizabeth Zott. When she’s teamed with handsome aristocrat, Hector Neville-Percy, it’s the perfect pairing of opposites. Sparks fly and classes clash amid the ever-increasing danger. With his debut, David Lewis delivers first class suspense-filled entertainment.” —Kevin O’Brien, New York Times bestselling author of The Enemy at Home

“Brilliantly researched, David Lewis’s A Jewel in the Crown is a thrilling tale of spies and dark secrets. It’s a captivating caper that kept me turning the pages long into the night.” —Alan Hlad, internationally bestselling author of The Long Flight Home and Churchill’s Secret Messenger
