I’m excited to be able to reveal the cover for my latest novel. I hope you like it as much as I do.

HOPEMAN will be published in February 2027 by The Book Guild and the paperback is available to preorder now.

The Blurb:

‘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…
