The Marmalade Years

Colin Drake’s wretched home life is driving him to distraction. Headaches and hopelessness are only the start of his
problems - until he takes a break in a part of rural Wales that time seems to have forgotten. Or has it? A wittily observed chronicle of one man’s desperation and redemption, and his successful pursuit of eventual happiness.

Blind Pursuit

​​

Someone from Detective Inspector John Steadman’s past hated (or feared him) enough to hire professional killers to murder him and his wife. The hit was carried out with ruthless efficiency, except for one detail…

The bullet that smashed into Steadman’s skull left him blind, but still alive – and still equipped with one of the finest minds in the force

Have I got a case for you!

You’ll love this one – both hands screwed to the desk and a copper wire neatly threaded through his neck holding his head on to the back of the chair… Someone had squirted whisky into both lungs. Filled the buggers almost to the top. But, and here’s the rub, it was done after he was dead…

Double Vision
ISBN: 1861519818

When the body of a young man is washed up on the beach in the quiet coastal town of Helmsmouth, blind ex-detective John Steadman has a brutal murder case to solve. When another murder victim is found in the same place, the crime turns into a challenging case of false identity. And then a third body is found, locked inside a freezer in an abandoned warehouse… Steadman knows the murders must somehow be connected to each other, and possibly to the seedy underworld of organised crime, but is someone else working behind the scenes to stop him unravelling the case?
