A Killing For The Hawks

Wings of Betrayal

Amid the roaring engines of the prized Hawker aircraft, Squadron Leader Mark Turner oversees a tight-knit flight of RAF heroes determined to tip the balance of World War II in Britain’s favor. But when a trusted comrade is found dead under mysterious circumstances, whispers of sabotage and betrayal tear through the squadron like shrapnel. Turner, haunted by guilt over his friend’s demise, must unravel a tangled web of deceit that stretches from shattered airfields in Suffolk to the clandestine corridors of military intelligence. With every new clue, the line between ally and adversary blurs, forcing Turner to question the very foundations of honor and duty he once took for granted.

Descent into Shadows

In a race against time, Turner’s investigation plunges him into the murky world of espionage, where coded transmissions and secret rendezvous replace the comforting thrum of Merlin engines. His relentless pursuit leads to unexpected allies—an intrepid journalist risking everything to expose the truth, and a resourceful French resistance operative harboring painful secrets of her own. Under the constant threat of Luftwaffe raids and double-crosses, each high-altitude strafing run and covert night flight becomes a gamble with death. Through winding intelligence networks and treacherous safe houses, Turner confronts the sins of the past, reckoning with how far he will go to protect those he loves.

Flight of Reckoning

As the noose tightens around the hidden conspirators, Turner orchestrates a daring mission to draw the saboteurs back into the open skies. In a breathtaking aerial showdown above the white cliffs of Dover, loyalties are tested, sacrifices are made, and truths long buried take flight in a final, electrifying confrontation. Frederick E. Smith’s cinematic prose and meticulous research breathe life into the perilous world of wartime aviation and intrigue. A Killing For The Hawks is a visceral saga of courage, camaraderie, and the relentless pursuit of justice when the stakes could not be higher. Author’s description.
