I am delighted to announce the release of my latest thriller. The Cromwell Deception is out now!
Check out the blurb for more:
February 1649: As the dust settles on the English Civil War, only
one objective remains unfulfilled before Oliver Cromwell’s total victory over
the monarchy is complete. For over four hundred years the Crown jewels of
England have been held safely in the Tower of London, yet in the coming days
they are removed, never to be seen in public again. Government receipts confirm
the jewels have been sold and melted down for mint value.
Only one man knows the truth…
Present day: In the heart of London, a famous art gallery is robbed
in the dead of night. Two paintings are taken: a newly purchased £10million
self-portrait of a famous 17th-century artist and a portrait of a
Roundhead soldier of moderate fame. For gallery director Gillian McKevitt, news
of the theft is an absolute nightmare. Aside from the theft occurring less than
two days before the self-portrait’s unveiling, CCTV footage suggests the theft was
an inside job.
As the news sinks in, a surprise
revelation from Gillian’s predecessor confirms she is dealing with no ordinary
theft. One of the portraits contains an unimaginable secret, one with the
potential to reveal the whereabouts of a long-lost treasure. With time running
out before the grand unveiling, Gillian realises she has no choice but to take
matters into her own hands. Following the clues revealed by earlier x-ray and
infrared examination of the painting, Gillian finds herself in a frantic, and
dangerous, race across England and through history as she attempts to track
down the thieves before they reach their goal. To succeed, she must not only uncover
their identity, but also unearth one of England’s best-kept secrets…
