Rupert, Carla & the General is a thrilling suspense romance written with a touch of wit and humour that will keep you turning page after page.

Paul White has the rare ability to bring characters to life, making them real people with feelings, worries and inner doubts, just like you and I.

Paul White has masterly crafted Rupert, Carla & the General into a work that leads the reader astray, down the dark alleyways of the past, before bringing them back into the glaring light of the present.

Paul manages to do all this while weaving a mixture of laugh-out-loud humour and offbeat wit into the story.
