The Books
Two novels. Two very different mysteries. Both rooted in the real world.
Second Spider from the Right
Discovery of a family secret uncovers a plot to cull mankind
When Mundance ‘call me Mundy’ Holyford discovers that his dead uncle had a child no one knew existed, he sets out to find them. But someone is watching him – and the closer he gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes.
His journey takes him from Avalon (formerly south England) to Ireland, the east coast of the USA and ultimately to Italy, where a mysterious message spelled out in stones suggests that the secret he is pursuing may be far bigger than he imagined.
Set in 2084, Second Spider from the Right is a futuristic conspiracy thriller about family secrets, hidden agendas, a global conspiracy and a twist in the denouement.
The Shape of Rain
Cracking the hidden code – a conspiracy concealed in a song.
When a celebrity investigative reporter dies just before he was to broadcast an explosive story about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, music journalist Jack Conrad finds himself thrust into a deadly mystery. The only clue lies hidden in the lyrics of a thirty-year-old song, whose writer died years earlier.
From Prague to the Saudi Arabian desert and, finally, to Seattle, Conrad is pulled into a murky world of counter-intelligence, government secrets, media manipulation and unexplained deaths.
With his own life in danger and no idea who he can trust, Conrad must decipher the song before those determined to keep its secret catch up with him.
