The Compass Line by D A Millington

It’s the end of the twentieth century and Emilie Weston is about to be inaugurated as the new Mayor when circumstances take an unexpected turn and she discovers that not every man (or woman) can be the master of their own destiny. The story of The Compass Line unfolds in Aitone through the traumatic events of the twentieth century and the resultant chaos unleashed by the choices of the morally dubious characters who live through and exploit the times. It’s a tale that demonstrates the road to hell is paved with both good intention and the unforeseen consequences of naive opportunism and questionable motive.
