In The Soup

by Michael N. Wilton

William Bridge returns to foil another dastardly plot. Once again, he must put aside his personal ambitions when Sir Henry is involved in a scandal that threatens to put an end to the family's hopes of getting their son Lancelot married to the daughter of a wealthy American. Foiled in his attempts to get his own back, Foxey Fred and his gang find a new way of retrieving their fortunes by blackmailing Sir Henry who, fearful his wife may find out, appeals to William for help. Calling on his Uncle Neil for support, William sets out to unravel the threads of lies and deceit, despite continued opposition from Sally's stepmother, Lady Courtney, and a series of female encounters that are enough to test the trust of even the most faithful of admirers.

About the author

Michael Wilton, writing as Michael N.Wilton

Following National Service in the RAF, I returned reluctantly to banking until an opportunity arose to pursue a career in writing. After working as press officer for an engineering company, I was asked to set up a central press office as group press officer for an engineering company, then moved to become publicity manager for a fixed wing and helicopter charter company where I was involved in making a film of the company's activities at home and overseas. I became so interested in filming that I joined up with a partner to make industrial films for a number of years, in which I was responsible for preparing treatments and scripting, before ending my career handling research publicity for a national gas transmission company. With the advent of self publishing, I have written several books - a romantic comedy, as well as two children's books.I am a life member of the Writers Guild.
