Thank you for visiting my website. I am a writer based in Kent. My second novel, The Lazarus Charter, was published in March 2020.
The book opens with teacher Bob Shaw waiting on the platform of a London Underground station. When a train draws in, he is astonished to see a man in a brown coat stepping out. Surely it can’t be his friend, the scientist Professor Morley? Morley perished weeks before in a blazing car. Is the man an impostor or did his friend fake his death?
As he and his wife Anne strive to solve the mystery, they happen upon a second scientist who divulges a vital secret which immediately puts their lives in danger. They find they are being targeted by ruthless enemies and, as a result, are forced to flee their Kentish home. The book is being published by The Conrad Press in Canterbury.
My previous book, the crime novel Smile Of The Stowaway, concerns the same couple, Bob and Anne. In this tale, they return from holiday to discover a strange man climbing out from beneath their vehicle. After finding him shelter and a job, their new friend becomes a police suspect. This book was inspired by a newspaper report about a stowaway which I wrote for several national newspapers in September 2014 while working as a freelance journalist.
