But her attempts to put the strange incident aside are undermined when she is assaulted upon her return home by an unknown assailant – who is looking for her husband, Mike.
As she looks to her husband for answers, Mike reveals that the intruder was probably after a pre-Columbian statuette he had obtained on the black market. And when he persuades Jo to smuggle the statuette into France, Jo has no idea that her life will be turned upside down, as she is forced to revisit her former childhood home – a house filled with dark family secrets and chilling memories…

Point of Honour “Who was this man who had been held up to me as the epitome of Christian virtue, a man who was supposed to have saved a French village, who was said to have murdered a German officer, raped a child, who was supposed to have been a gentil parfit knight, and at the same time an adulterer; and above all a man who had given his country hope in one of its darkest periods?”
His name was Captain Geoffrey Baines Turner, VC.
Who better than a VC’s son to write the story of one man’s Dunkirk?
So thought the publishers and so thought David Turner himself as he started his research. But the quest that moved from the sale-room of Sotheby’s in Bond Street to Vienna and led to the coast of northern France, still littered with the debris of World War II, was to prove that the greed and violence of a man revered as a hero had repercussions for which David was to find himself responsible.
Point of Honour is the thrilling story of a man’s search for his father. It is drawn tight by the tension that distinguished his earlier thriller, Venom.

On a mission to destroy the formidable warship is a small British naval unit, led by Commander Bagley. Working its way up from Cape Town, it has two powerful launches, Alpha and Beta, at its disposal.
But with the blundering Commander Bagley at the helm of the unit’s motley crew, the success of the mission is far from certain.
Among the crew is Lieutenant Edward Ross, Bagley’s second-in-command.
With the difficulties of the expedition and the incompetency of its Commander soon becoming apparent, Lieutenant Ross must not only deal with an inexplicably hostile Bagley, but also with the harsh reality of the dangers they face.
Yet matters are further complicated when Ross meets and falls in love with Justine Jumelle, who joins the crew following the death of her father.
As the battle rages on, will the mission to destroy the German warship succeed? And will all the crew make it out alive?

Fire in the Ice In World War I Siberia, the winter is not all you have to escape…
It’s 1917, and middle-aged diamond magnate David Kade, originally a Russian Jew, is now a noble English man, having been newly knighted for donating generously to the London Council to help war-trodden Britain.

With three savvy aides by his side, old diamond crony Connie Amsterdam, devoted valet Cyril, and handsome young naval officer Guy Jerrold, it seems like a sure operation – but their arrival in Vladivostok coincides with Bolshevik upheavals, forcing them to journey inland in search of those Provisional Government emissaries.

The Last Safari Mark Shaw is a young architect living in London.
One bitter winter day an exhausted man arrives on his doorstep. He has travelled from Nairobi to bring Mark a message. Mark’s father, Neil Shaw – a buccaneering figure, big game hunter, best selling novelist and womaniser – has been arrested for murder.
Mark had been brought up in Spain after his mother had been killed on their remote estate in Kenya. Now he returns, to discover a dangerous situation on the lonely Plateau which both sets of his grandparents, together with one other family, the Donaldsons, had colonised in the 1920s. A feud has existed between the two families for many years and it is Neil’s contemporary, Martin Donaldson, who has been killed.
Mark is urged by his father’s lawyer to find out exactly what happened that day. In doing so he uncovers Neil’s life, the hidden life of which his son knew almost nothing. It is a journey back in time.
Paralleling this search is the story of Neil’s wish to turn the clock back in Africa; of the game sanctuary he creates and his obsession with freedom, symbolised by four lions with which he identifies. But the old Africa has gone and he cannot come to terms with the new. Finally there is the question of a murder thought to have been solved a long time ago.
