Ascension

Ashbury Falls is a small New England town, with a dark ‘hushed-up’ past…
Enter writer Mike Fabien, researching for a book. His suspicions are aroused by the town’s unexplained events in the 1970s – a teenager drowned in a mysterious accident, residents having blackouts and all born within 6 months of each other, in the same place, attending the same high school grade – what’s the link?
Now the town is split over the proposed re-development of an old Indian burial ground – seems a reasonable proposal, but why is one man so fervently against it? Digging deep, Fabien is caught up in the lives of the town’s residents, but his research methods seem pretty unconventional. Just who is he?
Cleverly plotted and fast paced, Ascension will keep you in suspense right to the end, and you’ll want to know much, much more about Mike Fabien…

Two seemingly unconnected events occur within 24 hours:
The president of Mason-Wainwright, a New York investment corporation, is on a private jet heading for Washington DC carrying the burden of a secret that will undoubtedly destroy the firm he heads up. Without warning, a series of explosions rip through the plane, resulting in fatality for all on board.
A senator on a pro-euthanasia crusade is abducted on his way to Capitol Hill where he is due to deliver a crucial yet controversial speech to the senate.
In this, the sequel to Ascension, Mike Fabien finds himself drawn into a terrifying race against time to uncover the existence of a sinister organisation bent on pushing euthanasia to the top of the political agenda, with the knowledge that someone up high wants him out of the picture…

The Reluctant Thief

Tim Scott, secure and comfortable in his professional London life, has a chance encounter with Sanjay Roy, an old colleague from university who shares with him a gruesome secret from their past. When Sanjay discovers that Tim's job provides him with high level access to his company's finances, he uses this secret to draw Tim into his own world of corruption and casual brutality.

Tim is fascinated and repelled by the life that Sanjay opens up for him. But as he is increasingly sucked in, and as the consequences of his alliance begin to spin terrifyingly out of control, he is forced to seek a capacity for endurance - and for violence - which he has never suspected he had.

Spanning the worlds of high finance and bare-knuckle boxing, of prostitution and classical music, laying bare the urge to kill and the necessity to forgive, "The Reluctant Thief" is an intense exploration of how the worlds of crime and violence touch upon ordinary lives. It examines the moral and psychological forces which compel people into crime, and may help them climb out of it. This is a tale of the dark side of the human psyche, but also a story of a kind of redemption through love and shared humanity.

Watford Under Wood

Rookie detective Greta Pusey was sure conspiracy and corruption were being covered up – something definitely fishy was going on at Watford’s Shady Lane cop shop!

First a murder, then a suspiciously nasty accident at the fairground, then missing town council officers… was it all connected? Were drugs at the bottom of it all? Add to that Greta’s complicated love life – it was beginning to make her brain hurt, all that thinking. No wonder detectives went round frowning all the time!

With more twists and turns than in a labyrinth, Watford Under Wood is hugely entertaining – be warned though, you may look at Councillors and Constables in a completely different light…
