The Rosicrucian Prophecy

I'm delighted to announce that my latest thriller, The Rosicrucian Prophecy, is now available to purchase on Kindle. The story is Book 2 in the White Hart series, following on from the Crown Jewels Conspiracy. Although a sequel, the books are plot independent and can be read in any order.

Details below.

In Medieval England the defence of the realm in times of need rested on the shoulders of twelve men – a secret brotherhood of knights, who answered only to the ruler of England. They were called The White Hart.

As they are now…

November 1604:an ancient grave is discovered in a subterranean crypt somewhere in the English countryside. Though the identity of the deceased remains a mystery, a strange symbol etched into the slab offers a bizarre clue to his background. Exactly a year later, an anonymous letter delivered to King James I of England contains a shocking warning. If the contents of the grave are not handed over, the Palace of Westminster will be subjected to an almighty blow at the reconvening of parliament. 

Within days, a solitary conspirator is arrested as he prepared to set light to 36 barrels of gunpowder . . .

Over four hundred years later,a famous European socialite arrives in London on the fifth of November in a visit that has the potential to decide the UK’s future with the EU. Despite widespread scepticism over her true intentions, when her car is the subject of a bomb attack by a known terrorist close to Big Ben, panic threatens to engulf the city.

As the eyes of the world become absorbed by the ruthless assassination, less than one hundred metres away, a series of hidden CCTV cameras capture footage of over fifty terrorists entering the undercroft of the Houses of Parliament before proceeding to take all within hostage. With the entire building under lockdown, the terrorists’ demands are made clear. If the same mysterious demands made in 1605 are not met, the Palace of Westminster will finally succumb to its fate.

For White Hart agents Mike Hansen and Kit Masterson, the simultaneous attacks are just the start of an unfathomable chain of events that threaten to tear a hole through the heart of British government. An ancient brotherhood whose existence has long been deemed a myth has finally surfaced, intent on carrying out their legendary purpose. Guided by vague leads left behind in the confessions of the original gunpowder plotters, three forgotten 17^th-century German manifestos and the terrorists’ own demands, the White Hart have no choice but to plot their own assault on parliament, while frantically attempting to uncover the truth behind the legendary tomb. For the second time in four centuries, the Palace of Westminster stands on the brink…

And only by uncovering one of mankind’s oldest secrets can they prevent its annihilation. . .

FROM THE BACK PAGE

In Medieval England the defence of the realm in times of need rested on the shoulders of twelve men – a secret brotherhood of knights, who answered only to the ruler of England. They were called The White Hart.

As they are now…

In the hot late summer of 1666, a strange document is delivered to the King of England. The writing, though easy to read, refers to an obscure promise: a great fireworks display will soon take place, culminating in a pure body of flame higher than St Paul’s.

A week later and with the city burned to rubble, the hunt is on for its mysterious sender.

Present day: When flames are spotted inside a modern building located at the exact site of Thomas Farriner’s bakery in Pudding Lane on the anniversary of the Great Fire, few are prepared that this is just the first phase of the greatest terror attack in living memory. But when information reaches the Prime Minister of a second fire spreading in Edinburgh and a break-in at the Tower of London, it isn’t long before chaos ensues.

For White Hart agents Mike Hansen and Kit Masterson, the escalating attacks are just the start of a bizarre sequence of events that threaten to send the present and past on a collision course. A forgotten foe has finally resurfaced, their ancient threat being carried out. Armed with both the latest in modern technology and cryptic clues from the nation’s dark past, they have no choice but to tackle the threat head on, while also frantically attempting to solve a centuries’ old puzzle before it’s too late. If successful, they could yet save both cities from certain destruction.

But only by uncovering one of history’s best-kept secrets can they prevent the past from repeating itself. . .

New Release - The Cortés Trilogy

After over twelve months of silence, I'm delighted to announce the release of an entire series in a special, one-off release.

The Cortés Trilogy

Mexico 1520: As the Aztec Empire burns to ash at Hernán Cortés’s feet, in another part of the country a great treasure lies hidden in a sacred place watched over by its keepers. Throughout the land, a strange legend has long told of an ancient people dwelling deep within the jungle whose possessions include a precious set of stones with the potential to bring unlimited power to its owner. As well as wealth beyond their wildest dreams . . .

1904: In an old graveyard in a remote part of the Isles of Scilly, a distinguished academic makes a surprising discovery. The inscriptions on the gravestones are unlike any he has ever seen, at least in that part of the world. The clues point to an astounding possibility. A forgotten Spanish legend. And a four-hundred-year-old cover-up!

Present Day: History lecturer Dr Ben Maloney is sitting in his office when the phone rings. A call from his cousin is rarely anything out of the ordinary, but today what he has to say is anything but normal. Their great-great-grandfather’s body has been discovered in a boat near a deserted island in the Isles of Scilly. With a bullet through his skull!

Dropping everything, the cousins’ decision to visit the site of their ancestor’s demise soon proves to be one that will change their lives forever. With nothing but a hundred-year-old diary and legends from the past to guide them, Ben soon realises their quest to solve the riddle of their ancestor’s death will require them to take on an altogether greater mystery that will lead them not only halfway across the world delving deep into humanity’s bloodiest past but potentially to their own deaths. An unimaginable treasure remains undiscovered – one with the ability to change the world for better or worse. And some will stop at nothing to find it . . .

The Cortés Trilogy includes:
The Cortés Enigma, new and revised edition
The Cortés Revenge, new and previously unreleased
The Cortés Revelation, new and previously unreleased

Out of love for the many who bought the first edition of The Cortés Enigma - if not the Hot Box as well! - the trilogy will be available for the introductory price of £1.99 and $2.99
