But then he started to become successful. A job turned into a career and the career demanded a move, and another.

Praise for The Choice
-
Glorious surprise from master thriller writer Ted Allbeury. Deserting spies, he creates a credible, engaging love story whose gimmick deserves to make THE CHOICE best of all his sellers. THE CHOICE will capture adults of either sex who long to be in love again - or pray to get over it - Daily Mail
-
Ted Allbeury manages this sleight of hand very competently, and of course the idea of anyone being permitted a second chance at life is irresistable - Daily Telegraph
-
There is the usual Allbeury pace and planning, but never has there been such a complex twist - yet he succeeds in being convincing - Manchester Evening News
-
Written from the heart - Sunday Express
