The Measure

One early winter’s morning, a teenage boy is found lying outside the gates of a monastery. The monks take him in, and eventually, in terrible distress, he tells them that he has killed his father. This story follows the life of the boy’s father and the discovery the boy makes about his father’s past.

The Men With No Names

People of the world all look to find their own position; firstly through family and friends, then the neighbourhood and finally work. Others prefer the commune of religion. All these influence the way they live and think, which in turn, allows them to find a cause close to our heart. But give people a democracy and you allow them to bloom, not just in their cause, but rendering them more freedom of thought.
What could be better?
The Men With No Names follows democracy in an insular town in Britain. This allows each person to have their opinion or put forward their own cause towards their fellow neighbours, as well as suggesting or rejecting ideas by the town mayor and council.
Looking at the town’s folk from afar is one man who has seen the world and has his quiet opinions, also influenced by his own experiences of war, but far beyond what he had expected.
The book looks at past history that repeats through each generation, the struggles of the people to find who they are, and finally, to who are the heroes in our world, and those who think they are heroic in their cause.
There is always more to learn, but the main concern is that most people only use the narrow mind that they know.

The Missing Marathoner

In 2015, Aaron Statham – a very successful marathon runner in the past – goes missing on his wedding day. The police are convinced that the young man has disappeared of his own free will and close the inquiry.

Only his fiancée Lisa doesn’t believe that Aaron is capable of betraying her, she is convinced that something horrible has happened to him. A year later, having exhausted all other means, she turns to the small “H&W private investigation agency”, run by an eccentric 62-year-old Lady Arina Holroyd and her junior partner Luke Weir, to find out the truth.

The case of the missing marathoner is not as straightforward as it seems at first glance, nor how it is dealt with by the police. It turns out to be a much more complex and increasingly dangerous murder investigation. The nearer Arina and Luke get to the bottom of it, the more obstacles they meet on their way.

The killer is clever and heartless, he removes anybody who gets in his way, he doesn’t leave any trace behind. One after another the key witnesses are murdered or disappear without a trace. The killer is exceptionally smart, he covers up his tracks well and, like a shark, he is approaching from the deep gloom ready for the next merciless attack.

Why did Amber keep quiet for all this period? Why was she or her family taking me to court? Why did they not try to listen to me before taking me to court? Did she also say I raped her? Is it her family’s version? Why would she make a call to the rapist if that is what they allege?

As the judge was speaking … I was even more terrified and totally lost ground when I heard the particulars that sexual assault is prosecuted as Category A Felony, which meant I could be potentially deprived of my freedom and be dragged to serve an abysmal life-sentence-imprisonment if I were convicted.
