    About this ebook

    Rich wild child Carrie Marchant has made a phone movie of herself in the throes of ecstasy with a former lover Craig Stapleton, a rough diamond who she calls her Northern Star. But the clip has got into the wrong hands and a blackmailer is trying to extort a price from Carrie’s mother Rebecca. Carrie isn’t too bothered about who sees her in action, but Rebecca believing the blackmailer to be Stapleton calls in Lucy to investigate. However the enigmatic Sara Bradbury, Carrie’s elder sister, would much sooner brush things under the carpet and pay off the blackmailer. Lucy begins to understand why as she opens the can of worms that is Carrie’s life.

    Northern Star is a tale of blackmail and murder and is the fourth in the Lucy Harlow detective series.

    I write thrillers and mysteries, with a little bit of romance, of course.The Scorpian Visitant is an epic fantasy / mystery novel in which sixties teenagers Robbie Higgins and Louise Carlton travel to medieval Oakwood to find the Death Stone of Izar. On their fantastic Odyssey they find love and the reality of their mysterious origins.The Brent Street Haunting is my second novel and was published in October 2013. It is a paranormal story of revenge and murder. Mr. Coates a self-styled African witchdoctor is hell bent on getting even with those he sees responsible for his death, whilst Evangeline Weekes takes the law into her own hands to serve brutal justice on corrupt and predatory members of the establishment. Through one disadvantaged boy Coates and Evangeline are inextricably connected.My third novel is set in the fictional Deep South city of Duisburg. It is a white knuckle ride of a thriller which finds the evil Mr. Coates in league with a sadistic killer of young women to bring his plans to fruition. Amy Simms is a junior reporter on The Duisburg Star and is obsessed with hunky businessman Jake Webster. Only trouble is Jake is married to her best friend. Amy and Jake ride a rollercoaster of sex, blackmail and murder to stand together against the monstrous Coates. The draft of Duisburg Star was completed early July 2013. I have put it away and expect to publish it in January 2014.My fourth novel "Amanda" is drafted at 105k words. It a dark thriller about a female sex-killer who is relentlessly manipulated to do her half sister's dirty work. Expect this to be published in the Spring 2014. I am currently working on a sequel to Amanda.I also write short stories and have published several mysteries including Switch, Vacant Possession, You’ll Never Walk Alone, Double, and the Lucy Harlow crime stories featuring Oxygen Restriction, TV Torment, Opera Flowers and Northern Star.Please feel free to contact me on Twitter or Facebook.

      A Lucy Harlow Story

      Chapter 1

      The Marchant family was seriously rich being possessed of three thousand blue wagons hauling everything from cornflakes to sulphuric acid the length and breadth of the British Isles. That was not to mention the international operation, whose winged angel could be seen flying the highways and byways of every continent on the planet. So when Lucy took a call requesting her presence to discuss an undisclosed, yet delicate, issue with Rebecca Marchant, she dropped everything and left Manchester for the leafy lanes of a Surrey alight with the gold and reds of burgeoning autumn.

      The house was grey and turreted, a Victorian bastion resting upon its own footprint in the English Home Counties. Lucy showed her credentials at the lodge and then headed off up the long pink gravel drive towards the grey folly rising from the green baize. As she parked her car a young man and woman emerged from the arched portal.

      The girl had tawny hair and a good figure, wearing a tight red T-shirt and black leggings. She was about five feet four and had hazel eyes set wide apart in the face of an imp. Her right arm was heavily tattooed with a riot of coloured ink that crawled around her flesh like a jungle creeper. Lucy immediately thought of a pair of domestics, perhaps kitchen staff off for Saturday afternoon. The young man was around six feet with thick dark hair and eyebrows. There was a five o’clock shadow on his pale gaunt face. He was soberly dressed in a navy blue cardigan and grey slacks, and didn’t seem to appreciate what the laughing imp was saying to him. Lucy got the distinct impression that the girl was making fun of him, taunting him even. But he said
