CALL ME REX

A buried secret. A lost king. A dangerous man determined to uncover the truth.

In AD 43, as Rome invades Britain, the Celtic chieftains Caractacus and Togodumnus face the might of the Roman army at the River Medway. When Togodumnus is killed, his body is laid to rest with treasures said to have been carried into the afterlife with him. But the location of the king's burial and his legendary hoard disappears into history.

Centuries later, that mystery begins to resurface.

In 1955, a baby boy named Brian is born under extraordinary and disturbing circumstances at a convent in Kent. Raised by the sisters, Brian grows into a fiercely intelligent, unpredictable young man, haunted by the secrets surrounding his childhood and fascinated by the ancient legend of Togodumnus and his lost treasure.

As Brian grows older, his path takes him far beyond the convent, from the merchant navy to London, prison, Singapore and beyond. Along the way, he becomes entangled in crime, violence, betrayal, dangerous relationships and a growing obsession with the past.

Driven by two powerful ambitions, to uncover the lost treasure of King Togodumnus and find the man who destroyed his childhood, Brian refuses to let anything stand in his way.

But the deeper he goes, the more dangerous the journey becomes.

Blending historical mystery, crime, adventure, dark humour and revenge, Call Me Rex follows one man's extraordinary journey through a world where buried secrets, old enemies and long-forgotten legends collide.

The past has been waiting.

And Rex is coming for it.
