A girl is missing in a Suffolk seaside town, and to crime writer Max Monday it all seems worryingly familiar. For one summer back in the 1970's, a serial killer struck in the same area, claiming six young lives. Could it be that the same man has struck again? And if so where will he stop? For when the missing girl is found dead it looks like history is set to repeat itself, though this time more shocking and disturbing than ever before. From the shortlisted author of the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award and the Harry Bowling Prize for fiction. A superb writer. Slingink Publishing
Life is rapidly falling apart for young librarian, Laura Braybrooke. After receiving devastating news about her health, she retreats to the peace of the West Country. It doesn't stay peaceful for long. For walking out to the lonely Devon peninsular of St. Michael's Point, near to a one time secret army base for American forces prior to D-Day, Laura meets Paul, a mysterious stranger who has come to investigate the wartime killing of the local coastguard: his grandfather Jack Hannaford. The evidence suggests that Jack was a spy. But if that was so then what changed him from a steadfast patriot to a quisling? Does the secret lie behind the rusting wire of the vast St. Michael's Point Manor, the derelict cliff top headquarters of the former American army base, or maybe in the woods nearby, where the remains of a devastating wartime experiment lie buried deep underground? Against the clock and facing their personal demons, it's up to Laura and Paul to find out. An exciting and original spy novel with a difference, set against the ravishing backdrop of a British coastline under American military control, a tale which mirrors the occupation of land by foreign forces in other parts of the world today. Not just a thrilling journey into a long buried past. The Call of Echoes resounds with the fears and uncertainty of the present.

For if they are to rebuild the city they love, they must first destroy the toughest adversary of their lives: Gangland London. Towers of London. A story of good and evil, of love and hate, of the realisation of dreams and the discovery of true friendship.
