Never Surrender
On 10 May 1940, Hitler launched an attack that would overrun France, Holland and Belgium and bring Britain to its knees at Dunkirk. Only one man, Winston Churchill, stood in his way. This is the story of those four weeks.
One man running
Peter Ashton, former SIS agent, is running for his life in this thriller about the secretive world of espionage.
Blood money
British intelligence operative Peter Ashton returns from an out-of-the-country assignment to discover the office in an uproar. An SIS safehouse in Yorkshire has been the site of incredible carnage - three agents have been savagely murdered and another one is missing, as is the man they were guarding. Equally upsetting for Ashton is that it was his own wife who discovered the bodies and "cleaned" the safehouse before notifying the authorities. Now it seems likely that she could be the next one on someone's private hit list. Ashton joins the search for the killers and must sort through a confusing series of leads: one leading to Cuban gangsters, another to Islamic terrorists, and one leading straight to his old nemesis, Russian intelligence chief Pavel Treliser.
Last act
Last Act is the story of a friendly, gentle young woman thrown into an environment that is both unfamiliar and threatening. She finds her life at the Keyes School different and exciting, not least because of her new acquaintances--David and Erik, her suitors; Alice, her tutor: her schoolmates and her neighbors. But the air is fraught with inklings of danger that Hester comes to understand all too late.
