The Novels

One murder. One accused. And one man who won’t stop until the truth is found.

When Jason Mercier’s best friend, Mark DeSouza, is charged with the murder of accountant Richard Banford, the case looks open and shut. The evidence is strong. The police are certain.

But Jason knows Mark is no killer. Forced to work alongside his faithless ex, Leah Stanford, Jason must swallow old betrayals in order to uncover the truth. As they dig deeper, old betrayals and hidden motives begin to surface, whilst the real killer is still out there.

A Ledger for the Dead is a gripping murder mystery of loyalty, deception, and the lengths one man will go to clear a friend’s name.

Daniel Barrett has disappeared.

Three months ago, the computer specialist vanished without explanation. His flat remains untouched. His bills are still being paid. The police believe he left voluntarily.

His sister doesn’t.

When she approaches Jason Mercier and his newly formed team of private investigators, she brings with her one disturbing piece of evidence: a Eurostar booking made in Daniel’s name, after he disappeared.

What begins as a straightforward missing-person enquiry soon draws Jason, Leah Stanford and Mark DeSouza into a trail stretching from London to Paris, involving a secretive biotechnology company, unexplained money and people who seem determined to stop them asking questions.

And somewhere, buried among the lies and false identities, is the answer to the question that matters most.

Is Daniel Barrett still alive?
