Overview: Peter Rowlands was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, but has lived nearly all his adult life in London. He refined his writing skills editing and contributing to UK business magazines covering logistics, transportation and home delivery, and used that experience when he embarked on his first published novel, the mystery drama Alternative Outcome, in 2015. This takes as one of its themes the process of self-publishing, becoming partially a mirror on itself. Peter is an avid reader of mystery dramas and thrillers, and always planned to write books that distilled what he considers the most appealing aspects of such works: vivid characters, naturalistic dialogue, plenty of pace, and intricate but coherent plots.

Not Exactly True: Substance or illusion? (#6)
When journalist Mike Stanhope is accused of libel, he’s determined to clear his name. His crime: he reported that a company was failing. Its owners claim that it’s busy and flourishing, and they’re not happy with him. Did he get it wrong, or is he the victim of an elaborate deception?
The unpredictable Trish, daughter of the company boss and a self-confessed admirer, seems eager to help him, but her real agenda is frustratingly unclear.
Matters take a darker turn when Mike stumbles on a body in a wood. But when he returns later, it has vanished. Another illusion?
Gradually Mike’s investigation gets entangled in a much older mystery. What happened in the building that once stood at the corner of the factory site? Could it be the scene of an ancient crime … or something even more sinister?
Meanwhile, Mike strives to keep his relationship with his girlfriend Sam on an even keel, but he’s being pulled in a different direction.
No Logical Connection: When nothing adds up, think again (#7)
Illogical connections can lead to dangerous places
Cornwall beckons, and journalist Mike Stanhope can’t resist the call. He once lived there with Ashley, and now she’s given him an excuse to go back. She wants him to help Giles, a former colleague, to fend off an online blackmail attempt.
When Giles mysteriously disappears, Mike starts to wonder what the blackmail was really about. His probing leads him to a burglary, a sudden death, an ancient murder, and the disappearance of a famous artist’s final paintings. Against all logic, he starts to wonder if these disparate strands could somehow be connected.
Meanwhile, he finds to his dismay that he still has feelings for Ashley. But will he offend her if he turns what he’s discovering into a news story? And what of his girlfriend Sam? Conflicting emotions and divided loyalties conspire to thwart him as this engrossing story lunges towards its dramatic climax.
