Recieved from Dr Jonathan Hicks :
‘The Dead of Mametz’, my first novel, is due for publication by Y Lolfa on 1st April 2011.
It is a crime novel set during the First World War and features a Military Policeman, Captain Thomas Oscendale, who is charged with investigating a series of murders around Mametz in France during the summer of 1916 and finding what lies buried in the depths of Mametz Wood. Scenes in the book are also set in Swansea and Barry.
Reviews so far have been very encouraging , with it being described as:
‘... need-to-read tension and riveting detail.’
‘... recommended to all those interested in WW1 or who love a great mystery’.
‘... a great mix of an intriguing storyline and superb historical detail.’
If you would like a copy you can order a pre-release here:

I am currently working on the second novel in the series which is due to be published in 2012 and pre-release sales would ensure that this happens.
Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy the book!
Regards,
Jonathan
Jonathan has done much to promote Barry if not indeeed Wales and her heroes etc. Barry as a town has been over the last few years treated to some spectacular exhibitions and memories that Jonathan has staged. In these works Jonathan has also raised much awareness of the Merchant Navy and those lost from all forces and sectors.
I wish him every success in all future ventures.
