The Photographer

‘Suddenly he was there beside her.  She could sense him, his shadow a spirit come to claim her soul.  Blinking rapidly in an attempt to clear her vision, she believed that if she could make eye contact with him she could appeal to his conscience – but she was mistaken, he was no longer there…’




Published in 2020, The Photographer covers another period in the life and career of my character Detective Sergeant Isobel Woods. 


 Synopsis 

 Professional photographer Matthew Cunningham returns home from a successful assignment in Paris and upon realising the loss of his camera case, he panics.  Not only does it contain expensive photographic equipment, but also hundreds of stored images.  Several days later, his girlfriend Libby Ellis receives an anonymous package containing both photographs of the models Matt works with and also herself.  After a meeting, Libby fails to return home and Detective Sergeant Isobel Woods begins investigating her disappearance.  Struggling with internal politics and a boss intent on discrediting her, she is told to solve the case as quickly as possible.  However, events take an unexpected turn.  Gradually women connected to Matt are drawn into the nightmare and DS Woods suspects his involvement.  Co-operating with the police while secretly negotiating with the abductor, Matt risks incriminating himself and is left with no option but to gamble with the lives of those closest to him.




The Photographer is available from Amazon as a paperback and on Kindle.  It can also be ordered from all good bookshops.
