Archie's Problem

The Hidden Syndicate #1

by Phil Hughes

Bald Archie Moses has been the butt of peer jokes all of his short life. Abandoned by his mother when only a few days old, maltreated in the orphanage where he grew up and discharged by the army who he loved as family, Archie takes pride in a role as bodyguard to celebrities. While defending his client, Archie is arrested and sent by his lawyer on a crusade of epic proportions. During the Odyssey, Archie falls in with his antithesis and together they pit their combined wits and muscle to the detriment of a vicious Camorra clan.

About the author

Although educated in Classical Studies, Phil is the author of several historical crime novels. Having spent many years living in the Mafia infested hinterlands of Naples, Phil bases his novels on his experiences while living there. Much of what he includes in his stories is based on real events witnessed first hand.

Having retired from writing and editing technical documentation for a living, Phil returned to his Irish roots and now lives in Wexford with his partner and their border terriers, Ruby, Maisy, and the new addition Ted. He writes full time and where better to do it than in the Sunny South East of Ireland.
