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 worked for some years with British Intelligence which 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.

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)
