The Lady Believed To Be From England

About the Book

The Lady Believed to be from England is a dramatic story set in the stunningly beautiful island of Cyprus. More than just another murder mystery, with some dodgy dealings perpetrated by the Cyprus Judiciary – Firstly that authority’s failure to recognise a sinister piece of corruption, collusion, and treachery under its nose. – Eventually that same authority’s realisation of the hurt felt by those who were the innocent victims. It tells that story of a Cyprus born lady so much loved by all who meet her, and how against all odds, she has pulled about her a great sense, and an even greater ability to help others to hold up their heads. There is much to know about her and her family from her late husband, and those of her second husband.

It was this larger than life fellow who recognised the seeds of greatness within her and set about culturing these until they blossomed into an even more marvellous bloom than he had perceived. There are many sides to learn of this vibrant man who laughs when others might cry and creates an aura around him which others want to share. Their blissful life together appears to be something of Utopian proportions and seemed untouchable. However their love for each other and life in general is about to be shrouded in the darkest clouds containing a mixture of criminal injury, corruption, and authoritarian negligence. Now the great resolve they had always previously displayed would be tested to the utmost.

Throughout this book there are several digressions which should be thoroughly enjoyed. These are not simply meant as ‘space fillers’ but are solely intended to provide the reader with an insight into the lives of the families and characters. I am sure you will find it interesting and at times very amusing.

I must thank my good friend Maggie Muir for her assistance in piecing the story together, and my darling wife who patiently listened for twenty years of promises that one day I’d write a book.

About the Author

Patrick Emre now lives with his wife Christina in the beautiful island of Cyprus. He was born a Scottish farmers son in 1940, and for 20 year period farmed in his own right. A surprising deviation in his life saw him working in the life assurance industry and thereby he soaked up more of the ‘stuff’ which makes up ‘the theatre of life.’

He laughs a lot and maybe has proved the saying, ‘laugh and grow fat’ – because he is a bulky chap. Once introduced to an audience as ‘This larger than life fellow.’

He has written millions of words throughout his life but never before presented it for publication. The Lady Believed To Be From England is his first novel.

But your touch and your smile might be even better.
