He is saved by an email from beautiful former student Lisa Mann asking for his help in researching an historical documentary. Together they uncover the story of William Miller, an enigmatic Englishman who helped Hitlers rise to power. Who was William Miller? What did he have to do with the burning of the Reichstag?In their search for the truth about William Miller, Ian and Lisa embark on a voyage of discovery that takes them from the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War to the gates of Auschwitz and the Holocaust. But someone does not want them to uncover Millers story and their discoveries about the past have repercussions in the present. As an anonymous opponent becomes increasingly intent on keeping Millers secrets, West and Mann find that their very lives are at risk, but West has one advantage, he has nothing left to lose. About the Author A history graduate with 35 years teaching experience, I decided to try my hand at writing when, like my hero Ian West, my marriage collapsed. I have always thought that the best history teachers were good storytellers, Nothing Left to Lose is my first attempt at an historical thriller. I have always been fascinatedby the idea of history coming back to bite you in the bum, so that was the concept that inspired me. I am currently engaged in writing an, as yet unnamed, sequel based in part in the turmoil of the Russian Revolution.
