Martin Atwater has a hero complex. His great failing, however, is that he never learned to accept responsibility for his own actions and their effects on the lives of others.

Born into a privileged aristocratic family, at twenty-three years of age, Martin decides to forsake his libertine lifestyle in London, and join the King’s Royal Fusiliers 14th Regiment of Foot.

Just as his plans for enlistment as a second lieutenant are on the verge of coming together, a man from his boarding school days suddenly reappears like the phantom from his worst nightmares.

Finnbar, a bond servant, is drawn in when Martin decides to rescue him from the abusive stablemaster on the Atwater country estate and bring him along as an orderly. Guileless, and innocent in the ways of the world, Finnbar has few options in life.

With nothing more than his core moral compass to guide him, he makes his way as best he can, walking a tightrope through the challenges of everyday life in mid-eighteenth-century London while a storm of unspeakable evil gathers around him. One Night With Finnbar is a richly woven tapestry of characters and atmosphere.

As the tension builds and the plot twists with heart-wrenching consequences, the reader will find himself sucked into this story of two men whose lives touch for a mere twenty-seven days.
