 The older I get, the more tired I am of all the troubles in the world. Generation after generation of young men get angry about something, testosterone kicks in, followed by their committing a terrible crime causing terror to the innocent public. So, as a writer, I decided to do something about it. What if there were a series of enticing thrillers, set in different parts of the world, showcasing a young man in just such a situation?  The novels would need to zoom inside a young man’s head, reveal the often understandable cause of his initial angst, but then show all too clearly the horrifying aftermath of his actions. Step forward thriller no. 1:

Dunoon Assassin.  
Now available as an ebook and paperback. Just click the image on the right.
Here’s the blurb:

A story of revenge and retribution spanning three continents, a hundred years apart. Jay Khatri grows up in 1950s New York, the son of immigrants. Life is hard until a chance encounter leads to a job at Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue, where he learns the skills that will influence the rest of his life. When he learns about the Amritsar massacre in India in 1919, he vows to avenge the massacre of his grandparents. A murderous obsession grows.  A secret, wartime, nuclear bomb is set to explode in Holy Loch, Dunoon, years in the future. Will the combined efforts of the US President, the British PM and Scottish First Minister be in time to save the world from almost certain apocalypse? As the story moves from New York to Dunoon and to Amritsar, the tension mounts.…..and all the while, the clock is ticking.

Hope you enjoy it!
