Ben Stevens, author of THE WHISTLER: A MURDERER'S TALE

'The Power of Music Can Touch Your Heart and Save Your Life...'

A pitiless murderer at the Auschwitz concentration camp, a genius, half-Jewish violinist — and the dark secret that binds them...

'A beautiful woman, a love story, a horrific set of villains, acts of incredible caring and bravery, and a man that refuses to cave in... The ending won't be what you think it will be... It's better... Far better...' Lloyd Tackitt, bestselling author of the EDEN series.

...Originally from SW London, England, Ben Stevens now works at a 16th century Buddhist temple in Nagasaki City, Japan. He is a husband, father, guitarist and martial arts enthusiast. A Youtube channel ('NaNa Nagasaki'), relating to his work and general interests, can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/@nananagasaki8344

The move to Japan greatly influenced Ben's writing, resulting in the (sometimes described) 'cult classic' novel 'Big Sound Temple', as well as the autobiographical 'Twelve Years at a Japanese Temple'.

Ben's love of classic detective fiction caused him to create the popular 'Ennin' series - frequently referred to as the 'Japanese Sherlock Holmes' - while he has also written a number of Sherlock Holmes' pastiches. As someone who has read all of the original Conan Doyle stories many times since childhood, Ben believes that he has an excellent understanding of the genre.

With over 100 titles available on Amazon, fact as well as fiction, Ben Stevens has much to offer the discerning reader...
