Freddie P Peters

Freddie P Peters writes international crime, political, and financial thrillers informed by careers in law and investment banking. SON AND CRUSADER is the second Nancy Wu crime thriller, following Blood Dragon and preceding Savaged Innocence. The novel sends former Queen’s Counsel Nancy Wu into an international investigation after a human-rights activist disappears in Ukraine. Her search intersects with legal institutions, mercenary influence, and the practical limits of official authority. Peters studied law at the Sorbonne and King’s College London, then spent twenty-five years in the City of London and worked across several regions. She also created the Henry Crowne: Paying the Price sequence and the River Swift thrillers. SON AND CRUSADER reflects that professional background through its attention to cross-border finance, intelligence, law, and institutional power. Although it belongs to a continuing series, the missing-person investigation gives the book a self-contained central case while developing Nancy’s wider network and methods.
