"Welcome to my website. This is not only meant to promote my books but also to tell you a little about myself. One of the menu sections is marked 'The Author' and will provide some basic personal information.
I do hope that you enjoy the Château Sarony novels. They are intended as light action/mystery stories featuring a husband and wife named Martin and Anna Price. Although archaeologists by profession, their work has evolved into the investigation of historical and semi-historical conundrums. Although dealing with events of the past, their investigations regularly bring them close to very real dangers of the present day. So far there are sixteen published books in the series and I hope to publish a seventeenth in 2027.
In 2017 I also published an alternative to Château Sarony entitled Spitfire Inheritance. A second book followed named Hurricane Enigma, and a third - Lancaster Resolution - featuring Colin Medhurst and Billy Hagen, who were joined in the third story by Lady Wendy Donaldson. I intend to feature her in further books of this series.
Having first portrayed Clarence Wilkinson and Jenny Matheson in a segment of The Brandenburg Cipher I decided to award them a series of their own named 'Wilkinson at War' set in war-torn Britain of the 1940s. The result was 'The Woman from St John's Wood', followed by 'The Ten-Bob Traitors', and 'The Mayfair Ring'.
I hope to publish a fourth later this year.
Thank you for visiting my website. Please feel free to comment or ask questions."

Mosquito Masquerade
ISBN: 9798176713114
The crash of a Tiger Moth causing the death of Ronnie Weatherille, a former RAF Mosquito pilot, draws Colin Madhurst and Billy Hagen into a mystery whose origins reach back to the Second World War. Following the tortuous history of a Mosquito Bomber from its downing during a raid in 1943 to its installation in the Hendon RAF Museum in 1976 proves a difficult proposition, resulting in Wendy Donaldson and Harry Markham joining the investigation. Visits to France and Germany lead to the suspicion that the history of the Mosquito did not end when it was brought down by enemy fire in a raid over France. Their attempt to unravel the mystery brings to light a tale of revenge and murder extending far beyond the possibility that the air crash in 1976 was not the result of a landing gear failure.
The Lou-Lou Legacy
ISBN: 9798251693225
The discovery of incomplete skeletal remains on a Swiss mountain by Celeste Palin's Grandparents provides Anna and Martin Price with an apparently insoluble mystery when there are no obvious clues to the person's identity. The remains had stayed hidden in a gully for almost one hundred years, and it was unclear how they came to be where they were found.
Could there be any connection with the events at a British POW camp at Freiburg during 1915? Cavalry Captain Courtenay Mallory Rushwell becomes deeply involved with a German woman working for Abteilung iiib, the Imperial German Intelligence Service. Exactly which of them is a traitor to their country?
The fourth book in the Medhurst Mystery series takes place in 1970s Britain when the crash of a Tiger Moth causing the death of Ronnie Weatherille, a former RAF Mosquito pilot, draws Colin Medhurst and Billy Hagen into a mystery whose origins reach back to the Second World War. Following the tortuous history of a Mosquito Bomber from its downing during a raid in 1943 to its installation in the Hendon RAF Museum in 1976 proves a difficult proposition, resulting in Wendy Donaldson and Harry Markham joining the investigation. Their attempt to unravel the mystery brings to light a tale of revenge and murder extending far beyond the possibility that the air crash in 1976 was not the result of a landing gear failure.
If you enjoyed my earlier books featuring the Medhurst and Hagen, then this fourth Medhurst novel is for you.
