BOOK 3 COMING SOON

Featured by VM KNOX

I received a lovely email from a woman in Caithness today;

“ After giving If Necessary, Alone as Christmas presents, my friend told me that she set herself the task of reading a chapter a day “as it wasn’t her genre”. She was so hooked by the fifth chapter that she couldn’t put it down and just carried on reading as she was so in to the story.”

In Spite of All Terror

September 1940. Britain stands alone facing an immanent Nazi invasion.  Handpicked groups of men form the covert Auxiliary Units; ordinary men by day, they will be saboteurs and assassins by night.  With a life expectancy of two weeks, their identities are a closely guarded secret from all but the local senior policeman but once activated, that policeman will be the cell’s first victim.

Clement Wisdom, a humble vicar and leader of the East Sussex Auxiliaries, receives the invasion alert and assembles his team. Burdened with the tension between his faith and his patriotic duty, he sets out to eliminate the Police Inspector, only to find him dead already.  While assisting Lewes Police to find the Inspector’s killer, events take an ominous turn as one by one,  members of Clement’s team are found callously murdered.  Priorities shift and every aspect of life is called into question when Clement becomes embroiled in the murky world of espionage, where nothing is what it seems.

In Spite of All Terror is the first in a series of crime thrillers that mix historical fact, crime fiction and superb characterisations. They will keep you hungry for the next piece of this wartime puzzle.
