“A fascinating and lesser-known part of Mafia and WWII history, this
brilliantly-researched novel is quite an eye-opener!”
- Shelly Marsden

"Dock workers shout and swear coarsely. You can almost smell the
creosote and tobacco smoke as they do while the impression of a New
York metropolis coming into its own is particularly potent. As a
narrator he never has us at a loss as to our location, and using
something of a film maker's palate, he lets the streets and docksides
of New York become a central character in their own right."
- Hilary A. White,
The Sunday Independent,
“Like a sunken treasure ship this intriguing wartime
story has now been well and truly excavated.”
- Irish Daily Mail, London
“I was a bit wary as I began reading, thinking the use of colloquial
speech and vocabulary would make the book hard going. However I was
wrong; instead it gives the book a distinctive flavour, alongside the
descriptions of a bustling New York."

Some Reader Comments:
“I felt compelled to write and tell you that once into the last
fifty pages, on my way home one evening last week, I missed my train
stop by two stations reading the chase scene at the end."
Christina Rossi, Philadelphia, PA
Just a quick "Thank you" for Operation Underworld. Being a
girl, I'm usually not a fan of crime-related stuff, but I got this one
off my boyfriend's shelf to read something during a trip - and boy,
did the trip seem short!"
- Irene, Rome, Italy
"I have been a history enthusiast for many years, and was frankly
bowled over by the historical accuracy of the novel, as well as the
effectiveness of the device used to carry the story. Historical
fiction so often tends to be either too dry to capture one's interest
for long, or superficial fun to read, but at the expense of historical
accuracy. With Operation Underworld, Mr. Kelly seems to have found the
happy medium that balances both.
Now of course, we are all anxiously awaiting his next historical
novel."
- Lt. Geoffrey Meade, U. S. N.
San Antonio, Texas
“I am greatly enjoying Operation Underworld. The visual and
auditory image of the two guys in the hold of the ship striking the
water valve in unison to the choral strains of the Anvil Chorus made
me burst out laughing! That is such a great visual, in such a weird
context!
- Paul O’Connor, Dublin,

It was a time when evil walked the land, when witches danced naked in the moonlight and put curses on innocent people. It was also a time of Witch Finders, professional men who went from town to town, seeking out those who might be witches and "putting them to the question", a polite way of saying that they were tortured until they confessed.
In this time and place, there came Henry Mathews to the small town of Shrewsbury.

*This is an Alternative History Novel*
For Sergeant Henry Turner of the Forth Battalion, the Forty Seventh Regiment of Foot, 1815 should have seen an end to his war. Napoleon had been exiled to Elba, and many of the Allied soldiers had been safely returned to their home countries. As the British Treasury sought to save money, by quickly reducing the size of the army, all Henry had to look forward to, was being cast upon the streets of his native Liverpool, or if he was lucky, sent off to some far flung outpost of the ever growing British Empire.
