These Waters are well worth testing!

The Waters of Petimont is the debut novel from Paul Samuel of Biggleswade.

Father-of-six Paul has now been writing different genres for seven years.

The Waters of Petimont tells the story of the secret past of the village of Petimont in Normandy, northern France, and its church.

Members of The Cartel du Source, a group of powerful businessmen, share the same secret. All are guilty of hiding a terrible truth connected with the legendary spring waters of the region.

Sophia Shuleman returns to the village after almost 50 years to ‘set the truth free’.

Returning to ‘La Colette’, the villa she shared with her one true love and their twin boys, she reminisces on her student life in Cambridge. It is there that she fell in love with a French chemistry student, Harold Schenker, and set up home with him on the outskirts of Petimont.

The family falls under the menace of a Nazi, Franz Koenitz, one of a pair of twins she met during her days at university. Koenitz blackmails the couple when he discovers her roots, and forces Harold to develop a deadly cyanide bomb to turn the war in favour of the Nazis.

The Waters of Petimont is available to buy now in paperback from Amazon, priced £17.54.
