When the only form of justice that counts is your own.

For fans of suspense thrillers – a tense tale of murder, conspiracy and revenge.

When a murder case lands on the desk of an experienced cop with an unblemished record, it looks like business as usual. But solving this one will test his principles right to the breaking point …

One sunny summer morning in the City of London, an archaeological researcher just back from India is gunned down as he leaves a coffee shop. Who did it, and why? That’s the question facing DCI Nick Severance as he investigates his latest murder case.

When the answers lead to a conspiracy that could endanger the lives of thousands of innocent people, Nick has his hands full. But when they also threaten to destroy the woman he loves, he makes a choice that changes his life forever.

If you like your thrillers with an international setting and a touch of the exotic, then this one is for you.

The Severance Series

A Terminal Agenda: The Severance Series Book 1

Divulging lost secrets can be murder.

In his first mission for the Crimson Dragon Society, Nick Severance finds himself drawn into a situation where events of the past have a murderous impact in the present. Can he deal with that impact and emerge unscathed?

When Nick gets his first assignment from the shadowy Japanese intelligence agency he joined after fleeing the UK, it seems easy enough. All he has to do is play the babysitter and escort a retired MI6 agent to a safe house.

But when Nick discovers why the agent needs help, the game changes. What was done secretly 20 years ago still has the power to ruin lives. But there’s no one else left alive who knows anything about it.

Until now. Someone with plenty to lose wants the secrets of the past to stay buried. And he’ll do anything it takes to make that happen. But he’s not the only one who wants something. Nick must draw on all his resources as he becomes entangled in a web of lies, deceit and murder. His first assignment might just be his last.

A Trade To Die For

Timing is everything.

Is revenge really a dish best served cold? Nick Severance is about to find out, the hard way.

When pharmaceutical researcher Julian Frost is brutally murdered, Nick Severance is asked to investigate. Julian had recently returned to England from the Amazon rainforest in Peru, where he was looking for plant samples that could be developed into profitable new drugs. What he found there apparently sealed his death warrant.

Nick retraces Julian’s journey and meets some new and interesting people, some of whom would like him dead. While he attempts to survive their unique brand of hospitality, a new threat emerges in the form of someone from his past, who thinks this is the perfect moment for retribution.

Faced with hostility on two fronts, Nick’s chances of completing his investigation and living to talk about it seem slim. In a situation where appearances are deceptive and motives are misleading, can he find a way to regain the initiative, before it’s too late?
