Historian C.Q. Turnstone to Release Debut Novel Avarice of Empire
Independent UK publishing house Brindle Books Ltd is pleased to announce its latest release: 'Avarice of Empire' by Exeter-based historian C.Q. Turnstone. The book is the culmination of many years of research and tells the previously untold true story of Captain Charles Agnew, a cavalry officer with the 'Scarlet Lancers', who died 'by the hand of an assassin' in Egypt on 22nd March 1873.Turnstone, a postgraduate historian at the University of Exeter, has been fascinated by Agnew's story since he first saw a memorial to the fallen officer inside Canterbury Cathedral on a rainy Sunday in May 2015. At that moment, says the author, "my imagination was captured instantly. Over time, I began to research what happened, and the more I discovered, the more I knew that this was a story I needed to tell."
'Avarice of Empire' is a work of historical fiction that tells a story about real people and events with as much historical accuracy as possible. As well as Charles Agnew, it's about the fortitude of Victorian women, class division and colonial prejudice, early photography and the embryonic intelligence service, a revolution in global communications, and how an Irishman discovered what would become India's largest gold mine.
Avarice of Empire by C.Q. Turnstone is released on 6th March 2025 by Brindle Books Ltd in paperback (ISBN 978-1-915631-23-7) and e-book formats.
