The Most Dangerous Game
'Cary is great with a gun and deadpan about danger' Spectator Bill Cary makes a precarious living flying aerial surveys over Lapland. When he's hired by a wealthy American hunter, Frederick Wells Homer, to fly into a prohibited part of Finland near the Soviet border, the job seems shady indeed, and when a major crook wants him to go on the hunt for Tsarist treasure, things get messy. With thugs and the Finnish Secret Service already on his tail, matters get worse when Homer's beautiful sister turns up to search for him, and Cary's fellow bush pilots start getting killed off in a series of suspicious accidents. Cary begins to realise that it may all stem from an incident in his wartime past. The Most Dangerous Game was shortlisted for the British Crime Writers Association Gold Dagger Award. 'A glorious tale, vivid in character and escapade' Book Week
The Secret Servant
'A first-class piece of work' New York Times Book Review Major Harry Maxim, formerly of the SAS, is as surprised as anyone when he is hired by 10 Downing Street to assist in matters of defence and security. When there is a suspicious suicide at the Ministry of Defence, and a hand grenade thrown through the door of number 10, Major Maxim's military intelligence training is put to the test. It all seems to point towards Professor John Tyler, a nuclear strategist who will state Britain's case when Europe's think tank on Armageddon gathers in Luxembourg. The Secret Servant is the first novel in the Major Harry Maxim Series.

It's up to Harry Maxim to uncover the secret-before it's too late.

But what starts as a simple demolition job is about to turn into a desperate run for freedom as their tank is hunted across a desert wilderness.

There are just two problems: the man's associates don't want him to get there, and the police have a warrant out for the man's arrest on a charge of rape. For Cane, it becomes a desperate race across France, fighting against resourceful and ruthless adversaries and avoiding the forces of law and order every step of the way ...

As Europe hurdles toward World War I, the French American anarchist Grover Langhorn is arrested in London. But before he can be extradited to face trial, he reveals a secret more threatening to the crown than any bomb: Langhorn is King Henry V’s illegitimate son—and heir to the throne. Now Cpt. Matthew Ranklin and his partner Conall O’Gilroy of the newly formed British Secret Service are tasked with investigating Langhorn’s audacious—yet credible—claim. But in order to save the king from himself, they must delve into the unseemly secrets of his past. And soon they discover that closing this case will require opening a Pandora’s box of mayhem, murder, and international conspiracy.
