      The Commonwealth Games have come to Manchester and the city is buzzing. Caught in the commercial feeding frenzy is Tom Benwell, an advertising executive. But the pressure is getting to Tom - too many deals to make and lies to tell. Meanwhile his friend, DI Jon Spicer, is on the fast track, showing a love for the job that borders on obsession. Then, in the aftermath of the Games, a string of brutal murders shatters the city's new-found spirit. Spicer gets the case. Each victim has been murdered in the same grotesque manner, yet the lack of motive leaves the police utterly baffled. With the race on, both men find themselves caught up in a nightmare where the most innocent action can cost the highest price. “Pacy, gripping and original storytelling” - YORKSHIRE POST “The story's dramatic events are drawn out, gradually building to a page-turning, heart-stopping – and totally unexpected – ending.” -THE BOOK PLACE

      Shifting Skin - Killing them wasn't enough... 'The Butcher of Belle Vue' has struck again. Like the first two victims, the third has been partially skinned and dumped on waste ground. Only this time, her face has also been removed. Jon Spicer and his new partner, Rick Saville, are approached by a woman who insists she heard 'The Butcher' claiming his latest victim in the next-door room of a run-down hotel in Belle Vue. But all she has to back up her story is an escort's business card recovered from the empty room the following morning. Jon's investigation takes him into the twilight world of Manchester's sex workers and the unscrupulous cosmetic surgery industry, eventually forcing him to confront the potential for violence within every man – even within himself. “Shifting Skin has all the ingredients – blood, excitement, speed, mystery and realistic, likeable characters.” - PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH

      Savage Moon: Some won't see the morning... The body of a woman with her throat ripped out is found on Saddleworth Moor, near Manchester. She is discovered in an area where sightings of a large black cat have been made. When analysis shows that hairs caught under the victim's nails are those of a panther, it's assumed the animal has killed its first human prey. Then a man DI Jon Spicer is investigating is murdered in exactly the same way. Only this time the body is found in a secluded car park far closer to the city centre. Spicer is soon on the trail of a killer dubbed ‘The Monster of the Moor', a creature whose stealth and savagery strikes terror into the hearts of men and women alike. “An atmospheric, psychological astute and emotionally literate study of the nature of predator and prey” - GUARDIAN “An intricate plot is enhanced by good writing and human sympathy: highly recommended.” - LITERARY REVIEW
