BLACK HEART OF THE RAVEN
ISBN: 978-1-0369-0882-9
The thrilling third and final instalment of the Detective Inspector Luke Raven horror-crime saga.
Detective Inspector Luke Raven is dead, or at least that’s what the headlines would have you believe. Except somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, ghosts haunt an empty cottage, and a young woman with a hunger for human flesh continues her unyielding killing spree.
After the death of their once illustrious leader, The Legion are back up and running, and the new guy in charge is hellbent on vengeance. Meanwhile in Westhampton, ‘The Heart Breaker’ is running amok, carving organs from unsuspecting victims in the name of a deity the killer hopes will one day walk among us.
With his enemies closing in, and his own sanity close to breaking point, can Raven hold it together long enough to prevent his nemesis from fulfilling a horrific legacy, and rescue his own blackened heart from the creature that awaits him in the shadows?
WHAT DOESN'T CURE YOU
ISBN: 9781036908829
A terrible secret that lurks beneath the mountains, a strange material that holds miraculous healing powers, and an ancient species that needs to feed.
Paul Karin is a dreamer, a man who believes his road to riches is just around the next corner, but during a caving expedition to the Brecon Beacons, he and his best friend encounter a terrifying subterranean species and escape with a mysterious yellow liquid that appears to cure the incurable.
As he road-tests this new find on those closest to him, he becomes increasingly convinced that what he has discovered will change the world forever, making him millions in the process.
However, after he is visited by increasingly disturbing visions, and people close to him are brutally slain, he begins to wonder if there is more to this groundbreaking new cure than meets the eye.
Meanwhile, in Norway, in an underground lair beneath the Galdhøpiggen mountain, the Nokken are waiting - and they are hungry.
THE FARAWAY PEOPLE
ISBN: 9781803781730
A cult hellbent on death and destruction, a troubled family with a twisted web of secrets and lies, and an ancient forest swarming with ungodly abominations.
When Hattie and Richard Penrose take their family on a ‘staycation’ to the Cornish village of Bodhmall’s Rest, cracks in their unsettled marriage start to appear, as does the truth about Hattie’s fling with a co-worker and Richard’s burgeoning money problems.
As the family members battle their own individual demons, strange creatures are sighted amongst the trees, and the ghost of the mysterious Red Man appears in the attic. When an undercover SOCA agent uncovers links with a criminal organisation known as The Belvedere Saints, things start to unravel at a terrifying pace. Little do the Penrose family know that Glanna Cormoran and the members of her pagan cult are keeping a close eye on them.
And the Terrible Babies. They’re watching too.

I rose from the furnace, the molten and the boiled, my body crossing the thin veil that separates our very different worlds, and yet you believe that I am nothing but a vision? No, Luke. I’m afraid I am very real; very real indeed.’
Luke Raven, a suspended Detective Inspector, is working a private missing persons case when he stumbles upon the mystery of five unsolved murders on Westhampton Beach. Raven, however, is different - he has clairvoyant abilities that even he doesn't fully understand.
Molly Staker, the daughter of the head of a surreptitious organisation known as the Legion, is slowly descending into her own dark and twisted obsession, and those close to her are left to suffer the fatal consequences.
Raven's pursuit of the cannibalistic serial killer, the Hawk, leads him into a dramatic confrontation with a demon he has faced once before and a desperate battle for both his son and his own sanity.
