'a cold place to die'​
​
David Kettle finds a woman unconscious in his garden. She has no identification, no one has reported her missing, and there is no obvious reason she should be there at all.
As detectives Delano and Martin investigate, they uncover a web of online affairs and hidden identities. Who is she? And why is she there?
​
While the unidentified woman lies in hospital, watched over by staff, another presence circles closer; Jean-Marc, the paramedic who cannot let her go. His devotion is intense, intimate, and increasingly hard to dismiss as simple concern.
​
As winter tightens its grip, the inquiry moves from snow-covered footprints and half-truths to the stark light of the courtroom. Everyone has something to protect. Everyone has a version of events.
​
Exposure is a psychological crime novel about obsession, secrets, lies, and the dangers of virtual relationships.

The 'whodunit' you will not solve!
​
What if the truth about a death is the one thing nobody wants uncovered?
Mak Mason is an ageing musician with money problems, a complicated past and more regrets than he cares to admit. When a death in the family shatters the uneasy routine of his life, what first appears to be a tragic loss begins to cast a longer, darker shadow.
​
As tensions rise and old grievances resurface, Detective Inspector Kit Colley starts looking more closely at the people around Mak - his loyal partner Pattie, his difficult ex-wife, and the family members with reasons to hide far more than their grief.
​
Set in a bleak English town where disappointment lingers and nothing stays buried for long, We can’t all die like Buddy Holly is a dark, intelligent crime novel about family, suspicion, failed dreams and the secrets people keep to protect themselves.
​
Atmospheric, sharp and quietly unsettling, this is a story of love, loss and the dangerous gap between what people show the world and what they are capable of underneath.

Perfect for readers of British crime fiction, psychological suspense and character-driven noir.
