Death of a Cuckold Knight
Jake Reynolds Book 2
by B.R. Stateham
Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery

It is 1915 and World War One is raging across Europe. A continent-wide killing field consumes the flower of manhood for most of the nations fighting in the trenches. Or in the air. Or on the high seas. In this quagmire of death, one would think the act of murder would be the last horror anyone would consider. Or committing the act of stealing an incredibly rare, and priceless, painting. But for Royal Flying Corps Captain Jake Reynolds, the act of thievery is a given. Jake Reynolds is an art thief. A very talented art thief. He steals rare paintings, replacing them with forgeries so exact no one can tell the difference. But he is also unlucky. Unlucky in that, occasionally, he stumbles into a homicide case he had no intention of getting involved in. Like the one which involves him now. He finds the owner of the unknown Rembrandt cruelly murdered in his own mansion. The rich man's house staff have been cruelly dispatched as well. For Jake, when it comes to murder, he cannot let it go. Some weird quirk of his personality refuses to allow anyone to get away with such a heinous crime. But the problem for him is this; how can he find the vicious killers and bring them to justice without revealing his own felonious act?Jake will find a way.

Death of a Young Lieutenant
Jake Reynolds Book 1

Meet Captain Jake Reynolds – pilot, adventurer, art thief, spy.

In the opening weeks of World War One, and as a member of the newly formed British Royal Flying Corps, Captain Jake Reynolds is shipped off to Belgium.

Roped in by his squadron commander to prove the innocence of a young lieutenant accused of murder, Jake also wants to steal a 14th Century Jan van Eck painting.

The problem is both the evidence and the painting are behind enemy lines.

How do you prove a man's innocence and steal a masterpiece while an entire German army is breathing down your neck?

Praise for Death of a Young Lieutenant

“Once in a while you come across a novel that is different and unique. A novel that just doesn’t quite fit into the same square and round peg holes, doesn’t follow the formulas that the big guys set out for everybody and is so well done structurally you need to take pause and enjoy it for the gem it is.”

Praise for BR Stateham

“Stateham's fiction is solid, realistic and totally without pretention or author's ego. He pays attention to detail at all times without making the book hard going. A thoroughly enjoyable read that left me hungry for more.”

Goodreads * Amazon

B.R. Stateham is a fourteen-year-old boy trapped in a seventy-one-year-old body. But his enthusiasm and boyish delight in anything mysterious and/or unknown continue.
Writing novels, especially detectives, is just the avenue of escape which keeps the author’s mind sharp and inquisitive. He’s published a ton of short stories in online magazines like Crooked, Darkest Before the Dawn, Abandoned Towers, Pulp Metal Magazine, Suspense Magazine, Spinetingler Magazine, Near to The Knuckle, A Twist of Noir, Angie’s Diary, Power Burn Flash, and Eastern Standard Crime. He writes both detective/mysteries, as well as science-fiction and fantasy.

In writing a historical-detective novel, it seems to me it is important to anchor the tale of derring-do onto a rock of something actual historical in fact. With the third Jake Reynolds novel, featuring art-forger and reluctant detective Jake Reynolds, this is exactly what I propose doing. The book is tentatively entitled, A Killer in Uniform. But the title may change as we approach its conclusion. But the historical fact the novel's secondary story revolves around is not in doubt. The kernel of historical truth is this; In 1911 an unemployed artist down on his luck but currently working as a janitor in the famous French museum, the Louvre, and three other associates of his, on a quiet Sunday morning hid themselves in one of the many rooms of the giant building until the crowds and most of the staff departed for the day. When they did, they quietly left their hiding places, found Leonardo di Vinci's internationally known masterpiece, The Mona Lisa, and stole it. They lifted the heavy-framed Renaissance masterpiece off the wall in one of the exhibition halls, cut the painting out of its frame, and departed sight unseen and unreported. As might be expected, the international uproar generated by this daring theft was loud and demanding. Interestingly, the thieves tried to sell the canvas to anyone who would accept their demands. None were foolish enough to do so since no one in their right minds would touch such a hot piece of stolen art. But . . . what if? What if someone actually did accept the real masterpiece? But if they did, how did they hide it from the rest of the world? And who accepted such an incredibly find? Ah! The plot thickens, as they say.

Thank you for sharing your guest post and book details, I have enjoyed reading about you and your work and am looking forward to reading your stories

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:26:23 pm

Wonderful to meet you. I hope you find one, or both, novels to your liking. And please do offer an honest review. Either praising or lamenting their worth. Trust me, at my age, I have a thick skin.

Aggelos Mos

Amazing job!

Robert Young

Thank you for sharing about the books.

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:30:32 pm

Thank you, Robert. I hope, when you've finished reading one--or both--novels, I've made you a fan. Ultimately, that's my goal as a fiction writer. Lots of fans.

Marcy Meyer

4/21/2021 10:55:46 am

Looks like a good story.

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:33:14 pm

Marcy, I have my fingers crossed that not only will you like the novel, or novels, but that I've made you a fan. Either way, fan or no, if you write a review, all I ask is that you write an honest review.

Eva Millien

4/21/2021 11:19:24 am

Nice to meet you, B.R.! Your books sound like enthralling reads! Thanks for sharing and good luck with the tour and your series!

B.R. Statehaam

4/21/2021 01:35:59 pm

Eva, nice to meet you too! Hope you like the novels. I think you'll enjoy discovering the main character, Jake Reynolds. I think he's rather unique in this genre. But I look forward hearing your thoughts.

Kari B

4/21/2021 11:30:04 am

Sounds like an intriguing mystery set at a pivotal time in history.

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:39:04 pm

Hope you enjoy the read, or reads, Kari. I think you'll find the main character, Jake Reynolds, rather unique. A daring rogue with unique qualities. And, in the end, I hope I've made you a fan. But that will be for you to decide.

Amy F

4/21/2021 11:55:59 am

Sounds like an interesting story!

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:41:16 pm

I'm glad I've caught your attention, Amy. Perhaps, in the end, you'll become both a fan of Jake Reynolds, the main character in the novels, and with my writing as well. That would be nice.

Rita Wray

4/21/2021 12:50:21 pm

Sounds like a great book.

B.R. Stateham

4/21/2021 01:43:03 pm

Thank you, Rita. I'm hoping, in the end, I not only have given you some reading pleasure, but also have made a fan of my novels. That's what I am hoping to create. A large fan base.

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:11:06 am

Rita, I hope you enjoy reading one, or both, of the novels. The main character, Jake Reynolds, is a different kind of sleuth. I'm hoping you'll agree with me on that one pont.

wendy hutton

4/21/2021 03:04:51 pm

this sounds like a wonderful book

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:08:16 am

I hope you find the book or books enjoyable. An art thief who becomes a reluctant sleuth seems to me to be an instant and 'must' read.

Great cover!

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:16:14 am

The artwork was done for me by a wonderful Spanish artist by the name of Javier Carmona. Javier and I have worked on a number of covers for other works of mine and I plan to use him again on the 3rd Jake Reynolds novel later on (hopefully) sometime this year.

4/21/2021 05:40:51 pm

sounds interesting

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:19:02 am

Give'em a try, BN. I'm hoping you'll be hooked on them by the second page. Definitely by the end of the chapter. Either way, if you could write a review on your honest opinion of the book or books, I'd appreciate it.

Sherry

4/21/2021 07:02:43 pm

Sounds very interesting - thanks for sharing

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:24:00 am

You never know whether you like them or not until you give'em a try. But I think you'll find the main character, Jake Reynolds, a fascinating character. And by the end of the first chapter I hope to have made you a permanent fan.

Barbara Montag

4/21/2021 08:16:28 pm

I have a brother in law who would love this series!
The covers are amazing.
Thank you for sharing the review.

B.R. Statheam

4/22/2021 10:27:03 am

The series has lots to like. Murder, rare art works forgeries, military history, and a rousing adventure all wrapped up in one package. What's not to like?

Peggy Salkill

4/21/2021 09:11:17 pm

Sounds good

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:28:46 am

Give'em a try, Peggy. If you like a good mystery--more like a great 'whodunit'--and some high-adventure thrown into the lot, this is the series to try.

Debbie P

4/21/2021 10:45:49 pm

This sounds like a really good read. Great cover!

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:31:44 am

I'm betting on the idea you'll become a fan of Jake Reynolds, the main character in the series. And yes, a Spanish artist-friend of mine named Javier Carmona does the artwork for me. We collaborate on creating the artwork. The artwork is the eye-catcher who might attract the next reader. So we think its important.

Ellie Wright

4/22/2021 12:32:21 am

Sounds like a great book. I'm looking forward to reading it.

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:34:05 am

I hope you enjoy it, Ellie. In fact, I hope you enjoy both of them. Jake Reynolds, the art thief-turned-reluctant-detective is a unique character in the mystery/detective genre. I hope you eventually become a fan.

Bernie Wallace

4/22/2021 06:11:29 am

How long did it take you to write your book?

B.R. Stateham

4/22/2021 10:05:16 am

Usually between 4 to 10 months. I piddle around in writing on 5 or 6 other writing projects as well. But, by in large, that's the average for a novel like this for me.

Wendy Jensen

4/22/2021 01:03:17 pm

The book details make this sound like an interesting mystery.

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 09:59:59 am

Wendy, if you like a good mystery AND if you're looking to discover a different kind of hero, maybe you'll find this one to your liking. Jake Reynolds is a reluctant hero. And even though he is a thief, the act of someone getting away with murder just drive's him crazy At least, that's what I'm hoping for.

LYNN CLAYTON

4/22/2021 01:08:29 pm

oh nice cover looks like a great read

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:02:50 am

I think the artwork on a cover is very important, Lynn. First, the cover has to catch hold of a reader's interest. And then the book itself must grab you and keep you involved to the very last page. That's what I am hoping you'll discover.

Susan Smith

4/22/2021 04:56:48 pm

Sounds like a good book. I like the cover.

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:04:26 am

First the artwork. And then a great story. The perfect ingredients for a great mystery. I'm hoping you'll agree with me on both points, Susan.

David Hollingsworth

4/22/2021 05:52:44 pm

What inspired you to write this book?

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:07:39 am

Two passions of mine. First, the love and fascination of the 'what-ifs' in History. And two, creating both a mystery and a detective I think every reader wants to discover at some time or another in their lives. I'm hoping you might agree with me, David.

Ann Fantom

4/22/2021 06:22:00 pm

This sounds like an interesting book and I also like the cover.

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:10:02 am

Great cover art. A rousing good 'whodunit.' And finally, an interesting protagonist you want to continue follow through all his books. That's what I'm gunning for, Ann.

David Basile

4/22/2021 07:07:34 pm

Sounds like a good book

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:12:04 am

If you like a good mystery, a rousing adventure, and a believable--but fantastic--character who has good AND bad traits, well . . . you've found it David. Enjoy

4/22/2021 07:32:24 pm

This looks like a great read. Thank you

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:14:19 am

I'm hoping it is--for you--Beth. Hard to find both a great mystery--and an interesting detective--in the ocean of the mystery genre these days. But I'm hoping this book with be serendipity for you.

Abigail Gibson

4/22/2021 08:11:27 pm

keep up the amazing work

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:16:06 am

Thomas Gibson

4/23/2021 12:02:12 am

Nice cover and excerpt!

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:19:54 am

Artwork for the covers is what first attract's a reader's interest. But ultimately, it is the pages inside which will be the ultimate factor. I'm hoping to make you a fan. My fingers are crossed.

Michele Soyer

4/23/2021 06:56:47 am

I enjoy reading historical fiction very much.. this will be added to my to purchase list.. best of luck with the tour and thank you....

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 10:23:35 am

The early years of the 20th Century are fascinating to study, Michele. The mysteries, the intrigues, the wars, the discoveries, the personalities . . . absolutely fascinating. And to think a person could have lived through those years and did fantastic things . . . but never told anyone of their experiences until long after they retired. Well, it just gets the imagination a'going!

Cynthia C

4/23/2021 11:50:57 am

They both sound like interesting stories.

B.R. Stateham link

4/23/2021 12:52:27 pm

They are,Cynthia. But ultimately, that's for you to decide. I've got my fingers crossed that you will.

Paige Chandler

I love a good Historical Mystery. Good work.

B.R. Stateham link

4/24/2021 08:19:14 am

I love a good historical detective novel myself. And I write'em as well. Not only the novels featuring the art-forger/reluctant detective, Jake Reynolds. But I have a couple of 1st Century Roman detective novels available featuring a Roman tribune by the name of Decimus Julius Virilis.

Kelly D

4/23/2021 04:46:16 pm

The books sounds good, I like the plot.

B.R. Stateham link

4/24/2021 08:23:28 am

As a writer, I want to write that classic 'whodunit' mystery which captures the reader's attention and never lets them go. If you're a fan of this genre, over the years you have a tendency to get slightly burnt out reading the same plot over and over again. So I like to shake up the genre some. I like to add a little depth to the story; a little depth to the characters. I'm hoping you might discover this formula works. I've got my fingers crossed.

Serge B

4/23/2021 04:48:40 pm

Great time period for a story!

B.R. Stateham link

4/24/2021 08:26:06 am

You're absolutely right, Serge. The early 20th Century was filled with all kinds of wonders, shenanigans, and colorful personalities. I'm hoping I capture a little of all three in the Jake Reynolds novels.

Victoria Alexander

4/24/2021 05:13:22 pm

Sounds interesting!

B.R. Stateham link

4/25/2021 10:54:30 am

If you like BOTH a good mystery, and some interesting historical background, you should love this Victoria. I believe in the old cliche, "If you can't find the book you want to read, well then, you should write it." This is the central motto I go by on everything I write.

kelly tupick

4/24/2021 07:25:38 pm

The book sounds really good.

B.R. Stateham link

4/25/2021 10:56:33 am

I want to write really intriguing, and compelling, mysteries. I find this works best in writing historical-detective fiction. I hope you'll come to agree with me. Enjoy, Kelly.

Ginger Hafer

4/25/2021 01:19:55 pm

Nice covers. Sounds like a great mix of history and mystery. Should be a good read.

B.R. Stateham link

4/26/2021 10:41:56 am

Ginger, I've got my fingers crossed. I hope you find it a page-turner and can't put it down until you get to the very end. I'm a little self-serving here in that I want to build up a fan base for these novels, along with the other series I write, so large it will be impossible to overlook them. So I have my fingers crossed you're going to enjoy the read.

B.R. Stateham link

4/25/2021 08:43:47 pm

Great artwork. A great 'whodunit' plot with a couple of subplots thrown in. I hope you like it.

Judy Thomas

4/26/2021 04:21:36 am

It sounds like a page turner, thank you for sharing.

B.R. Stateham link

4/26/2021 10:45:14 am

And thank you for showing some interest, Judy. I hope the book fills your expectations enough that you'll demand the next one in the serious as fast as I can write it.

Ken Ohl

4/26/2021 04:27:38 am

B.R. Stateham link

4/26/2021 10:48:20 am

Ken, I believe in the old adage; "If you can't find the book that satisfies your cravings, then you should be the one to write it."

That's what I did. A great mystery. A great adventure story. An intriguing factoid in history. What else could you ask for?

Cathy French

4/26/2021 08:51:06 am

I enjoy historical reads and love this particular period in time. The cover captures the time period perfectly

B.R. Stateham link

4/26/2021 10:49:58 am

Well then, Cathy. I think you are going to love this series. And if you check out my blog page, you'll see I have other historical-detective novels handy. Enjoy.

Molli Taylor

4/26/2021 09:08:31 am

this looks hot. are your heroes or leading men based on people you know?

B.R. Stateham link

4/26/2021 10:53:52 am

Oh gosh no, Molli. I'm not that old. But as a historian, I have read about fascinating men and women who have done things absolutely unbelievable--and kept quiet about it until they were long past. In fact--come to think of it--that very thing could be happening to both of us. Perhaps there are people in our lives who have done something outrageously unbelievable--and we know nothing about it. In fact, I'm sure that's probably true.

shannon zeidan

4/26/2021 11:37:31 am

I'm excited to read this! I tend to love historical fiction.

B.R. Stateham link

4/28/2021 11:54:51 pm

I hope you enjoy both novels, Shannon. I've always thought the pages of History were ripe with the possibilities of great mystery novels. I'm trying to prove it. One book at a time.

Artwork to capture a potential reader's interest. A great story with interesting characters and a rip roaring adventure to keep them involved. The perfect formula. Home you enjoy them both, Veronica

Jaya Avendel link

4/28/2021 03:28:42 pm

I love historical fiction, especially stories centered around life during the World Wars, so both the Cuckold Knight and Young Lieutenant sound like lovely reads!

B.R. Stateham link

I think that the covers of your books are interesting.

B.R. Stateham link

5/1/2021 10:26:25 am

Thank you Nancy, for your kind remarks. Apparently my theory is working; first you use artwork for your covers to lure the potential reading to the title. After that, you hope and pray the story within captures the reader and makes them a fan. Enjoy the read,

Heather Mahley

Sounds like a really good book from what I have read so far.

B.R.Stateham link

5/4/2021 09:29:12 am

Frankly, I hope you like both of the novels, Heather. And at the end of the reads, you find yourself become a genuine fan. At least . . . that's what I'm hoping for.

jan

5/7/2021 12:07:47 pm

Sounds like a full plotline!

B.R. Stateham link

5/10/2021 09:06:56 am

In my opinion, Jan, they are fascinating plot lines designed to keep the reader glued with his nose between the pages of this book until the very end. In fact, I'm hoping both books do that to you. Enjoy!

Jamie Martin link

5/8/2021 11:28:22 pm

Do you have any advice for new writers?

B.R. Stateham link

5/10/2021 09:17:01 am

There are not secrets about being a writer. But here are a few points to consider.

1. Write because you have a need to tell stories. Don't write expecting to be the next Stephen King.

2. Develop a thick skin. Rejection is coming. You have to learn to blow each rejection to one side and keep on writing.

3. Experiment in your writing style(s). Play with words. Play with plots and subplots. Play with genres by mixing up different genres into one form. In other words . . . just play. In the end, when you meet the one or two kindred spirits who admire your work, that 'playing' around with words is what brought them to you--and that's the greatest reward of all for a writer.

4. Never for a moment believe the idea that you're 'the greatest undiscovered writer in the world.' That's just gonna create bad juju in your head. Trust me when I say this---there are far more talented people out there waiting (more likely, not caring) to be found or not. Just enjoy and share the talent you have with others.

B.R. Stateham

5/11/2021 10:40:57 am

Opps. The first line to my answer should be, "There are no secrets about being a writer."

Sorry,

My theory on writing and attracting a fan base;

1. First the artwork to lure them in.

2. Then well-constructed plots and subplots to keep them glued to the story.

Do these two things in your writing, and maybe--just maybe--you'll slowly begin to build that fan base all writers want to have.

Well then, Wen. You need to read the book and write an honest review of it. A truly honest review. But I do hope you like it--and maybe become a fan of the series in the process.

First-capture the potential fan with the cover artwork. Second-write a novel so full of unique characters and a unique adventure, they become instant fans.

That's what I am hoping for, Daniel.

I like the cover design.

I'm a believer the artwork on a cover is the lure which draws the reader into to the story. But it is the story, the characters, and the adventure/mystery which turns the reader's initial interest into become a genuine fan. I hope the magic works on you, Debbi. I hope you become a fan.
