History In Their Blood by Hugh Dempsey

His daughter (Tamara de Grandmaison, was my first childhood crush.

Big Bear : the end of freedom by Hugh A. Dempsey

Clever blend of historical documentation based material and congenial fiction for the blank spots of the historical record, to make smooth reading throughout. Same technique for which V.S. Naipaul later got a Nobel Prize.
