poster, The Cyclist
A search for absolution.
 
 
"... a haunting and bittersweet novel that stays with you long after the final chapter – always the sign of a really well-written and praiseworthy story. It would also make an excellent screenplay."
(Scroll half-way down their page!)
 
"The story is brilliantly executed. Fast-paced with short snappy sentences and surprising plot twists, The Cyclist is a real page turner, so much so that I found myself skimming paragraphs just to discover the outcome of certain quandaries."
 
"a compelling story..... a gritty appealing reality.."

Work in progress:
 
 
 
1940, Paris falls to the occupying Germans. Raoul, fat Executive Head Chef of Le Meurice, the top hotel of Paris, is nonchalant. He is content to wait for Pétain to make peace and for everything to return to normal. He wants to get on with life and admire his demi-sous-chef, Natalie with unrequited love.
When the Germans begin to cut out the Jewish staff and finally threaten Natalie, he realises he can no longer ignore what is happening.
Hauptmann Schiller, the SD officer who has taken over the hotel, insists upon more German food, and Raoul acquiesces as he hides Jewish members of staff in any nook or cranny he can find in the hotel. In the end, even the wine cellar is occupied by refugees.
On the night of a big German military banquet, Schiller discovers Natalie in the kitchen. When Rolf kills him defending his woman, he has to dispose of the body.
He discovers there is more in a chef’s inventory than Béchamel sauce.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Author:
 
Fred Nath is a full time Neurosurgeon.
He lives in the northeast of England with his wife and daughter, his three sons having grown up and flown the coop.
In his time, he has run twenty-one consecutive Great North Run half-marathons, trekked Island Peak, to 6000m in Nepal, crossed the highest mountain pass in the world (also in Nepal) [which you can see on You-tube],done a 12,000ft tandem parachute jump and began writing, like John Buchan, "because he ran out of penny-novels to read and felt he should write his own."
Fred loves a good story, which is why he writes.
He also loves the Dordogne, French wine and a good family getogether!
