The Scoop
2018
The fates of three strangers collide in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Journalist Jonno Bligh is flying high with a bestselling book and an Oscar for Best Screenplay. But along with the accolades he picks up a cocaine habit and a case of writers’ block. Under pressure to deliver his next blockbuster, Jonno sails to the Indian Ocean in his beloved yacht The Scoop Jon B. When a violent storm cripples the boat he takes refuge on a beautiful remote island, where he vows to get clean. Little does he know that the murderous gangster BangBang Budiman uses the island to hide the spoils of his heists in the notorious Malaccan Strait. Jonno watches in horror as BangBang and his crewmen brutalise two women on the beach before leaving them to die. He manages to rescue Annie Greenwood, whose husband has already been murdered. Together they flee the island with the stolen loot, relentlessly pursued by the vengeful BangBang. As the killer hunts them down in the treacherous waters of South East Asia, Jonno and Annie are forced to come to terms with their own destructive demons – and a discovery that will change their lives forever. The devil waits for you … even in paradise. PRAISE FOR THE SCOOP ‘Clear the decks for this riveting tale of crime on the high seas …Tense, gripping, The Scoop grabs you from opening line until the last page and leaves you wanting more.' Anna Smith, author of Blood Feud and The Dead Won’t Sleep

Deadbeat
2021
A tabloid editor battles lethal odds to expose dark web trafficking in the rock industry ... In the third book of the Jonno Bligh series, Micky Marx is a British music mogul whose extravagant tastes are as obscene and outrageous as the girl bands he manages and exploits. For over three decades, the founder of the ‘Top Marx’ record label has straddled the pop industry like a Colossus. But now, facing debt and disgrace as the platinum hits dry up, Marx is collaborating with the mysterious Russian ‘Tsiganka’ to traffic drugs, arms and children via the dark web. UK Today editor Jonno Bligh and his team face incredible odds to expose the two criminals. More trouble ensues when the tabloid discovers that a top ISIS operator – Jihadi Jamila – has sneaked back into Britain to assassinate new Israeli Prime Minister during his first state visit to the UK. The fast-paced Deadbeat goes behind the glitz and the glamour of the entertainment industry to rip open its seedy, shady underbelly.
