The Old Dovorian Club are thrilled to inform you that renowned author Gillian Holmes (POW 84 – 86) has released her latest wartime novel. This engaging story is set in Dover, focusing on a café called “Castle Café” located in Market Square Dover, which is now know as “The Market Square Kitchen” owned by Joey Libby (S 02 – 11) and his partner.

“Trouble brews at Castle’s Café following a fatal shooting, leading customers to avoid the establishment and plunging Nellie into debt with the ominous Terence Carter. However, when a lethal assault occurs nearby, these issues seem trivial in comparison.

Simultaneously, Jimmy Castle and family friend Reenie Turner’s bond has grown stronger. After surviving an attack that nearly claimed their lives, they resolve to marry. Yet, the reappearance of an old acquaintance risks revealing a secret they’ve long concealed, putting their impending nuptials on the verge of collapse.”
