With LAST RUN, my latest novel (and the sequel to Mind Games) going to press, I’ve finally got enough breathing space to say how very much I’ve enjoyed hearing via this website from many readers in different parts of the world – and though I hope I’ve already replied to you all, I would like to say a big thank-you again for taking the time and trouble to send me emails.

To those of you who’ve just found your way to this site, I hope you’ll browse for a while and feel free to make contact if you have any questions or comments.

When I left Sam Becket – my beleaguered Miami Beach police detective – at the end of Mind Games several years ago, I was already looking forward to another encounter. But though LAST RUN is a sequel, it definitely stands alone for anyone who hasn’t met Sam in the past.

When a lone runner is found savagely murdered on Miami Beach’s North Shore, Detective Sam Becket’s first concern is for his adopted daughter, Cathy, a student at Trent University. Cathy’s a runner too, and she’s vulnerable. As Sam and his team start to investigate, a connection emerges with another homicide on nearby Pompano Beach, and as members of his close-knit family become drawn into the web, Sam has no choice but to put his career and his own life on the line to stop the killer from striking again.

Last Run will be published in hardback on October 31 by Severn House Publishers.
