    About this ebook

    PI Vidocq Verone and Sergeant Appleby meet high strangeness in a house in the early hours one night, and are instantly drawn into high intrigue in the leafy suburb of Farnborough. Appleby thinks there's been criminal activity in the house, and plans on making an arrest. Verone believes he's re-entered the strange world of UFOs, reliving the bizarre events of ten years earlier causing him to take leave from policing.

    While Apppleby investigates the possible kidnapping of Felicity Butler's neighbours, the Kingstons, Verone is contracted by the wife of PharmaChems director, Wayne Widcomes, believing he's cheating on her, and soon finds evidence of an extraterrestrial connection. The two events become entwined when Verone learns Widcomes is Kevin Kingston's boss. Appleby invites Verone to work with him to solve the case, and both are led down the garden path chasing clues to Kingston's disappearance and Widcomes possible involvement in his disappearance.

    When two school girls are involved in a strange UFO encounter, events soon take a sinister turn causing Verone and Appleby to question their ability to solve the disappearance of the Kingstons. The school girls' story attracts the attention of Terri Hardy, a journalist with the Middelsbrough Times. She investigates the girls' story and is soon caught up in the ongoing investigation with Verone and Appleby.

    A series of puzzling events is soon followed a murder, and Verone, Appleby, Mrs. Butler, Terri Hardy and Dr Saul Stevens of the Sisters of Mercy hospital, are soon drawn together to try to understand what's happening and prevent a city from descending into terror. But the more they know the more their sanity is challenged, as more deaths signal a darker turn. What will they do when they discovering the truth about what's been going on in Middlesbrough? Will it increase their sense of doom, stop them from preventing further deaths? Or will they rise to the challenge and bring the madness to an end? Or will they descend into madness trying?

    I like writing and reading Sci-fi and Paranormal crime stories. When I'm not doing these I do language learning research. When I'm not doing either of these I play PC games.
