The Windsor Conspiracy



Is Prince Charles really a Windsor? Was the Queen Mother an evil manipulator? This fast-paced thiller is based on a conspiracy behind Britain’s Royal Family

Is Prince Charles really a Windsor? Was the Queen Mother an evil manipulator? This fast-paced thiller is based on a conspiracy behind Britain’s Royal Family.

Has the monarchy’s lust for power gone too far? The severed finger of a kidnapped man is mailed to newspaper journalist Joanna Doyle, with a note claiming the victim is none other than H.R.H. Prince Charles. She has just watched an interview with him live on television, so Joanna refuses to take the note seriously. Why then the interest of the Secret Service? Why do they demand she relinquish the finger and note to them? Why, only hours later, is she brutally murdered? And why does the Royal Air Force dispatch a Harrier jet fighter to intercept the trawler in which the kidnap victim is being held captive?

Security expert Simon Dwyer is hired to uncover the truth in this fast-paced thriller full of intrigue and suspense. From the vastness and hostility of the Australian outback to a medieval castle protected by 1000 feet of sheer rock and the crack troops of the 12th Scottish Regiment, every gripping page brings another twist.

About the author

Mike Ponder

Mike Ponder is well known for his art and has exhibited widely throughout New Zealand and internationally. He has produced two books of his works. Forestry, wine and olive oil have also played an important role in Mike's career. For almost 30 years he has had forestry interests in the Marlborough Sounds and for many years, as a member of the NZ Forestry Council, he championed the cause of the small scale forest owner. In 1987 Mike and his wife Di purchased land on the outskirts of Blenheim and planted their first olives and grapes the following year. When Ponder Estate was sold in 2002, Mike and Di Ponder had a national and international reputation for their wines, and were known as pioneers in the development of the olive oil industry in New Zealand. As well as publishing the books on his art, he has also published one on growing olives. For a time Mike and Di lived in Queensland, however they have now returned to Marlborough and are making wine once more.
