What would you do if you came across a dead man and accidentally stole his watch? For Luc it was to be a game changer. The problem?  The dead man was a murdered spy with a dark secret. Consequent events throw Amy, the dead spy's daughter, and Luc together in a search to find the truth about her father. It takes them on a breathless chase across the world as they become unlikely heroes catapulted into the dark and dangerous world of state secrets, international espionage, Russian assassins and Iranian double agents in this compelling, surprising and often dark story.

Many years ago I came across a dead man at a waterfall and although I didn't accidentally steal anything it provided the start point for this story. I also worked with the intelligence services in the UK and this has helped with some of the parts of the story.

This is my first novel, although I've had two non fiction books published and have contributed to many articles in international newspapers.

Word count: about 85,000 words, 70 chapters, all written, currently editing and releasing on a regular basis.

[complete; editing, ROUGH draft] "Say something in Spanish." I snorted, "Like what?" "I don't know... I just want to hear you speak it." Our gaze stayed on each other for more than it should've. But I couldn't look away. Her hair laid out behind her on the pillow, her hands under her cheek and her head nearly under my arm. I inhaled, "Puede que me esté enamorando de alguien que nunca me amará." She parted her lips and for a second I thought she understood me, my heart skipped a beat until she spoke, "And what does that mean?" "It means, this woman beside me asks too many questions," I lied. ***** Oakley Marrero has been nothing but a rebel since witnessing her parent's murder at the age of eight. Leaving everything behind ten years later, she settled down in New York City in hopes to track down the killers that have never been found. While on her mission, she had what she thought was a one-night stand with August Creed.

"𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴, 𝘔𝘪𝘬𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘭. 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘙𝘛𝘠 𝘠𝘌𝘈𝘙𝘚!!" The ghost realm is where all people, good and bad alike, go after death. Most people lived happy and fulfilled lives upon entering the afterlife. You could live anywhere you wanted, and you could live in any timeline you imagined. For Mikhail though, Not so much. Mikhail's family had been cursed with getting hurt and feeling pain after death, for things unexplainable while they were alive. It was like they never died in the first place! However, It wasn't so bad for a while, going on the same routine every morning waking up, eating, staring, reading, and sleeping. There was only one 𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘭 problem. Someone Mikhail knew manifested their life (and death) to make sure he wouldn't live comfortable immortality. Only then Mikhail realized he needed help, even if he didn't want it, reuniting with someone unexpected... I hope you enjoy reading it!
