Description

“I was one of the good guys, or so they believed..."

Karl has just successfully brought through security a document which would be considered subversive and incriminating if it had been found. He had believed himself to be one of the good guys for years, for decades even; his life had been dedicated to the service of his country. Now, as he approached retirement, he found himself keeping secrets from his second in command, deliberately working against the local Police Commissioner and using his hard-earned skills to evade the very authorities who had paid his wages for all his working life.

How had things come to this? His love for Alice had started it – Alice, with her concern for the underprivileged and her uncomplicated desire to help others. Somehow Karl’s eyes had been opened to a different side of the society in which he lived so comfortably. And so a journey had started which led him to a remote Cambridgeshire village, to a desperate drive across the country during one of the worst winter storms to hit England and Wales since those countries had left the European Union, and to a tragedy that Karl did not see coming.

A Vision Softly Creeping is an exciting and gripping romantic thriller, and the third book in the series. It is unashamedly political, looking just a few years ahead from our present constitutional turmoil, to a time when England and Wales are driven into the arms of an America which is moving ever to the right.

Advance Praise

 "I was, in the overused phrase, 'unable to put it down'. This book deserves a mass audience." - Amazon review

"The story is utterly believable and the book is hard to put down as the main protagonist slips ever further into the complications and difficulties thrown in her way as she follows her beliefs into untenable places. An excellent read." - Amazon review

"I found this a highly original book because of its underlying but never cloying spirituality, but it is also full of profound human insight and is absolutely gripping. Once started I could not put it down. Early on, the author skilfully conveys a sense of something sinister that lies behind the apparent ordinariness, and as the plot unfolds we are held absolutely in suspense. I thoroughly recommend it as not to be missed." - Amazon review
