2019 has been a busy year for me, and the last couple of months in particular, with regards my writing. However, I’m now delighted to say that I’m very close to having the next Harry Briscombe mystery ready for you to enjoy. The book ­– the fourth in the series – is called NO ESCAPE, and I’m trying for a release date just before Christmas. I hope the cover reveal above will whet your appetite. I have to say I’m absolutely thrilled with this cover design because I feel it captures the tension and urgency of the novel perfectly.
Just to give you a taste of what to expect, below is one of the blurbs I’m considering using for when the book is published. I hope it rouses your curiosity!

A girl in a coma.

All she can do is think and remember.

But as the memories return, so does her terror.

Because she knows it’s not over.

When DI Harry Briscombe investigates the stabbing of a young girl, all he knows is that she’s been badly treated and has given birth in the last couple of weeks. Who is she? Where is her baby? And why has someone tried to kill her?

Then a murder is committed, and Harry is met by a wall of silence. What lies behind the veil of secrecy that surrounds a local cult, The Brethren of Serenity?

And what is their link to the girl in the coma?

This book has been quite challenging at times, but I hope you will be as excited to read it as I have been to write it. If you’d like to know when it will be available, just make sure you are signed up to my newsletter, either by downloading my free prequel novella, Behind Closed Doors, on the Welcome page, or if you already have that, just click on the link further down.

As always, happy reading, and a huge thanks to all of you who continue to read my books and give me such enthusiastic feedback.
