Some exciting news to share.

It doesn’t have a cover yet, but HOPEMAN, the third in the Cal Jackson series, is written and has a page on my publisher’s website. The team at The Book Guild are busy with the final edits and cover design, all in time for publication in February next year. If you’re really keen, you can pre-order the paperback from The Book Guild now, and HOPEMAN will soon start appearing on all the usual bookseller websites for pre-order soon as well.

Here’s the synopsis for HOPEMAN:

‘One day, you can pay me back somehow. Who knows when I might need your help.’

Cal Jackson owes Ben Weaver a debt he can never forget. When Ben disappears after his release from prison, Cal agrees to try and find him.

His search takes him to Hopeman, a picturesque village on the beautiful Moray Firth coast in the Scottish Highlands. Behind the sandy beaches and the idyllic landscape, a far darker reality is revealed, and the hunter soon becomes the hunted.

When Cal gets entangled with the Shannon family, a ruthless crime dynasty using the village as a base for smuggling, the stakes get higher, and violence lurks behind every closed door.

If Cal thought finding Ben was going to be easy, he should have known better. As violence erupts across Hopeman, Cal must risk everything to repay the old debt…

If you haven’t discovered the Cal Jackson books already, the first two books, FULL SUN and HOSTILE CITY are available from all good booksellers now.
