Description:

When John Hill is murdered after going on a scuba diving treasure-hunting trip along The English Channel, ex-mercenaries Mike Randle and Suzie Drake investigate the death of their friend.

They encounter an ex Nazi Colonel and his henchmen who will stop at nothing to discover the location where John Hill made the discovery that cost him his life.

Unlike the Colonel, Mike and Suzie do not know what they are searching for, but with both groups hunting for the same thing, a dangerous cat and mouse scenario begins to unfold.

A mixture of intrigue, murder and seduction are contained in this fast-paced thriller encompassing all the elements that will keep the reader turning the pages to discover the next exciting incident.

About the Author:

I am the eldest of three boys and was born and educated in Surrey where I lived and went to school. I am a collector of local postcards and a keen photographer who attended evening classes for advanced photography. I also enjoy comedy and am an ardent Goon Show fan. As a one time archivist for The Goon Show Preservation Society, I met both Michael Bentine and Spike Milligan, and was delighted to be invited to Spike's home as a dinner guest. I was employed by British Aerospace and Airbus UK as a Design Draughtsman, and have worked on Airbus, Harrier and Nimrod projects, but have now retired and am a local Parish Councillor. Death Mark is my seventh published novel. Married, with two grown-up children, my wife Linda was a nurse, but is also now retired and we live in a small village in the Sussex countryside.
