The Priest Hole

2015

“Nykolas Freeman died four hundred years ago. On a cold night, you can still hear his victims screaming.” When Laura and her family move to a remote house in the English countryside, they have no idea of the macabre events that took place more than four centuries ago. It's said that a priest once hid in the walls of the house and was never seen again. Some say he hides there still... Laura doesn't believe in ghosts, but when she and her sister start hearing scratching sounds and whispers from within the walls, it becomes clear that spirits in and around the house have some unfinished business. Is there really a priest still hidden somewhere nearby? Does the ghost of his tormentor still roam the forest? And why has Laura started to experience a series of intensely vivid waking dreams in which she finds herself in the same house, hundreds of years ago? The Priest Hole is a horror novel about two sisters uncovering the dark forces in their new home, and about the divisions that once threatened to tear England apart. Contains violent scenes.

Battlefield

2016

“Why would an entire English Civil War battle have been covered up? Why would both sides prefer to pretend that it had never happened?” An archaeological dig outside the small town of Sharpeton turns up some surprising results when hundreds of skeletons are discovered. Convinced that she has discovered the site of a previously forgotten battle, Doctor Mary Baker sets out to learn the truth about a horrific event that took place more than three centuries earlier. Meanwhile, a few miles away, a little girl makes a shocking discovery deep beneath the desolate moor. Nykolas Freeman, one of the most notorious figures in English history, is about to rise from the grave once again. This time, however, his experience of the modern world is going to push him to the brink of madness, and a deadly prophecy warns that a great tragedy will soon strike the English countryside. What really happened at the Battle of Sharpeton in 1644? Why was it erased from history? And what links one of England's most notorious monsters to a scared little girl? Battlefield is the second book in the Nykolas Freeman series, which began with The Priest Hole.
