Book One - Shadows in the Dark  Available now on Amazon

Some fires don’t go out - They wait.

Detective Inspector Leah Lyles is suspended from duty when an old case resurfaces in the worst possible way. An old cottage fire on Australia’s southern coast was officially ruled an accident. The problem is, it wasn't an accident and someone is now going to extraordinary lengths to make sure it stays buried.

When a chance lead in London exposes erased CCTV footage, covert surveillance, and a trail of dead ends that feels anything but random, Leah realises she has stumbled into something far larger than a single crime. Intelligence agencies close ranks. Records vanish. People who ask the wrong questions disappear.

As Leah follows the trail back to Queenscliff, the fire’s true purpose begins to emerge. What was destroyed was not evidence, it was infrastructure. A hidden system built to observe, test, and control, long after the Cold War was meant to have ended.

With her career in ruins, her safety compromised, and the truth closing in, Leah must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose what powerful forces are desperate to keep in the dark.

Because some shadows aren’t cast by the past.

They’re still moving.

Book Two - Echoes in the dark - Due April 2026

Months after the London investigation that nearly destroyed her, Detective Inspector Leah Lyles is trying to move on. But the past has other plans.

A new series of violent deaths is spreading across London. Each one carries the unmistakable signature of a tragedy long thought buried - the fire at Queenscliff.

As the bodies mount, Leah realises the truth she uncovered was only the beginning. Someone is still protecting the secret behind Ashfall. And they are willing to kill anyone who gets too close.

Drawn back into a conspiracy that stretches across continents and decades, Leah must decide who she can trust — and how far she is willing to go to uncover the truth.

Because some truths never die.

They echo.
