His protagonist, Julia Trent, is an ordinary schoolteacher thrown into extraordinary circumstances. Early one cold January morning, Julia enters Chilton, in Sussex, to buy some milk and biscuits from the village store. But in the quiet street she thinks she sees a dead body. Within moments she is running for her life as a deranged gunman goes on a rampage and 14 villagers are murdered.

After being chased and nearly killed, only Julia knows that there was a second gunman involved. The Police don’t believe her so she joins forces with Craig Walker, the son of one of the victims, and together they uncover the conspiracy behind the massacre. But they soon realise that the killing didn’t begin on that fateful day, and worst of all, it hasn’t finished.

"Skin and Bones" is a powerful, haunting and unforgettable book that keeps the reader hanging at every turn and is as every bit as satisfying as the best fiction should be. Be prepared to sit up all night reading this terrific novel! Preface, RRP $32.95
