About this ebook
Dive into the eerie heart of London in "Black Widow - Death is a Masquerade," where a deadly secret from a long-forgotten 'Masquerade Party' ignites a series of chilling murders. In the shadowed corridors of power, a vengeful killer targets Westminster's elite, unravelling a dark past where corruption and deceit buried the truth of a young girl's tragic death.
Detective George Reynolds, haunted by his own demons, joins forces with the enigmatic DS Michael Dalton on an area-wide murder task force. Their second case leads them into the terrifying aftermath of the 'Kanaima demon.' What starts as a favour for ADI Locke quickly spirals into a nightmare, revealing horrors rooted in the supernatural as the infamous 'Black Widow' descends upon the city to sow chaos and death.
Torn between his moral duty and his emerging role as a pack 'Alpha,' George confronts the killer's sinister motives. Meanwhile, DS Dalton, grappling with his shapeshifter identity, navigates the treacherous waters of this deadly investigation. Together, they must unravel the mystery surrounding Inspector Bamford's death and the decaying bodies that are rapidly turning to dust.
As George embarks on a harrowing journey of self-discovery in his new life as a werewolf, he faces trials that test his resolve and endanger those he cherishes. The stakes are higher than ever when an explosion leaves the fate of his relationship with the brilliant pathologist Ellena Walker hanging in the balance.
"Black Widow - Death is a Masquerade" is a thrilling plunge into a world where love and horror intertwine, set against the backdrop of a supernatural serial killer's rampage. Follow Detective Reynolds as he races against time in a city cloaked in shadows, where each twist and turn pulls at your heartstrings, leaving you breathless and on the edge of your seat. Will George and his team unravel the web of deceit before the darkness claims another victim?

My journey as a writer began years ago, kindled by an early fascination with English literature and language, a passion ignited during my GCSE studies. It was the timeless narrative of 'Of Mice and Men' that first captured my imagination, leading me down a path forever intertwined with storytelling. As life unfolded, I explored various passions and embraced the responsibilities of adulthood. I navigated through life's complexities, finding joy and fulfilment in raising two wonderful sons. Now, as they step into their journeys, I've been graced with the opportunity to revisit my first love: writing. My ambition is to craft immersive worlds that readers can lose themselves in, worlds where the lines between the supernatural, crime thrillers, and horror blur into an irresistible tapestry of intrigue and character-driven narratives. "Secrets in the Bones," my fourth novel, marks a significant milestone in my writing career. It represents not just another story but a venture outside my comfort zone, being the first work I've presented to agents and publishers. With a treasure trove of stories waiting to be told, my journey as an author is far from over. I am currently immersed in writing "The Cursed Knights - the Book of the Dead," a foray deeper into the horror genre. Each new story is an adventure, an opportunity to explore the uncharted realms of imagination, and a chance to connect with readers who share my love for the mysterious and the macabre.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The amazing evolution again. Man, the storyline hits hard on topical subjects and crimes, handled gracefully. I love the dark humour in the mix while the supporting characters' arcs are being built and complement Detective George Reynolds brilliantly. Can't wait for more. Great stuff!!
