Reader reviews

This is the second book I have read in this well-written trilogy and it is as enthralling as the first. It has elements of World War II, paganism, mythology, history and much more.

The Belgae torc exerts its spell again and we are warned of murderous happenings to come. Orlagh and Jerry are together, finding that the torc still has power, pulling them in.

I was plunged straight into the story and in no time I was taking an interest in Turkey – I wanted to go there and to see what was being described. Then chapter by chapter I am myself drawn into this fascinating, gripping tale, so much so, that I very nearly missed my station – I’d become so engrossed on the train.

An epic adventure that should not be missed.

The Witness a psychological thriller

How far would you go to help a friend, would you risk your life?

That is exactly what Josie had to do in order to thwart a homicidal maniac. 

Amazon review

I wanted to read this novel as soon as I saw the title, cover and read the introduction. That was well over a year ago and I am so glad that I have finally gotten around to reading it. As soon as I started to read the first chapter I knew right away that it would live up to the expectations formed in my mind. And now that I have finished reading it, I still hold the same view.

The characters are well developed and either likable or (in the case of Mr Mac the villain), utterly deplorable.

I commend Kevin Marsh - he did an exceptional job of developing the character of Mr Mac. I fully believe that Mr Mac is a homicidal madman, hell bent on creating mayhem, suffering and death, without rhyme or reason. His antics are frighteningly real and as I read the novel, my psyche was at times overcome by palpable fear.

I recommend this novel as a good read for those who enjoy psychological thrillers and possibly even to lovers of horror.

The Witness is currently priced at just £0.99 (UK) for the Kindle download and $1.32(US).

The Torc Trilogy

The first two books in The Torc Trilogy are on offer as a Kindle download from Amazon.

The Belgae Torc, first book in the series, is currently FREE with the second book, The Gordian Knot at just £0.99 (UK) and $1.32 (US)


The Belgae Torc

The Belgae Torc begins in the Iron Age where a magnificent torc is wrought from white gold.  This symbol of power and wealth reaches out down the ages and affects the lives of everyone who comes into contact with it, sometimes with deadly consequences.

Dr Orlagh Gairne, a prominent archaeologist, is sent to assist Jack Harrington and his salvage team who have located the torc on a ship laden with Nazi treasure.  The ship now lies on the bottom of the Atlantic just off the coast of Portugal.  Little does Orlagh realise how the torc, and those who covet its power will change hers and the lives of her colleagues.

The Gordian Knot

Authors note

It is normal practice to finish a book with everything tidied up neatly leaving the readers satisfied.  I thought I did this at the end of The Belgae Torc, but I soon realised that there was far more to say regarding this story and the lives of my characters.  

The Gordian Knot, continues the adventure with the torc remaining central to the plot.  The ending of this novel is by no means as clear cut as the first book. I left parts of it open, not so much as a cliff hanger, but with intrigue that spills over into the third and final part of the trilogy.  

Some of my characters had a difficult time in The Gordian Knot, but in the final book the plot becomes even darker...  

Coming soon, an Amazon Kindle offer on Cutting the Gordian Knot, the Final Solution.

These offers are for a limited period only, so don't delay, log onto Amazon and download your copies of The Belgae Torc and The Gordian Knot.

Happy Reading!

Synopsis

Twelve months has passed since the traumatic events that almost claimed her life and Dr Orlagh Gairne is looking forward to a well-earned holiday.  With her partner, Jerry, they jet off for the Aegean coast where they plan to make the most of the Mediterranean sun and visit the ancient sites of Anatolia.

The Phoenix Legion, still reeling from a humiliating defeat, have re-grouped and are now planning the next phase of their quest.  They are in possession of the Belgae Torc, but this is not enough to ensure total power so they must rely on the druids and their connection with the spirit world.

Whilst searching for treasure in the Sea of Azov, Jack Harrington and his team make an unexpected discovery and with the past merging with the present are unable to avoid being drawn in to another deadly battle.

The Belgae Torc, Jack Harrington and The Phoenix Legion are far from her thoughts, but as Orlagh enjoys her holiday with the man she loves, these forces come together.  Will she manage to avoid another conflict or will she become a victim of circumstances that are beyond her control?

Synopsis

Part One – England 50BC.  A Celtic symbol of power and wealth, wrought from white gold, a trophy for a king.

Luaine Mac Lanis, the metal smith responsible for its creation, is commanded by an old friend to make a magnificent Torc.  He knows nothing of the curse surrounding the strange metal or the circumstances of its arrival in Britain, because of this he will pay the ultimate price.

The Torc brings death to those who wear it and when the King of the Belgae tribe collapses and dies whilst delivering an important ceremony, his people cannot rest until the Gods have been appeased.  The only way to lift the curse is to offer the Torc to the Gods, a horrific human sacrifice in which the creator of the piece must die.

Part Two – Two thousand years later the Torc is listed on the inventory of a sunken ship. 

The Hudson Bay, a cargo ship lying on the seabed off the coast of Portugal, is laden with Nazi gold and treasures stolen during World War Two.

Dr Orlagh Gairne, a leading archaeologist working for the National Museum of Ireland, is sent to investigate.  She is instructed to work with Jack Harrington and his crew of salvage experts.  It’s Orlagh’s job to identify the Torc and ensure its safe delivery to the museum, but the operation is not as straightforward as expected.  The survey ship they are working on is attacked and sunk by terrorists who are also seeking the treasure.  During a daring escape from their stricken vessel Orlagh and Roz Stacey, one of the ships engineers, are kidnapped and held hostage by the terrorists.  The women are taken on a journey across Portugal, Spain and on towards the coast of Africa.

With Jack and his team in pursuit, the story reaches its climax on two small remote islands from where the terrorists plan to launch an attack on the Western world.  Two sinister weapons, Gog and Magog, named after biblical giants, remain concealed in their silos.  Jack is aware of the imminent attack but has no idea that it could escalate into a global catastrophe on an unimaginable scale.

Time is running out and he must discover the location of the kidnapped women whilst uncovering the full extent of the terrorists’ plot.  Aided by his team of mercenaries and an historical expert, they unearth a wave of hatred spreading across Europe.

With the past weaving tightly with the present, Jack uncovers a deadly plan for world domination.  He foils the terrorists by preventing the weapons from destroying their targets but he fails to capture the ringleaders who manage to escape, taking the Belgae Torc with them.
