Presumed Dead (30 page)

As you’ve probably guessed, I love
Chamonix. I first went there at the age of nine with my parents. Ten years
later I returned on a motorcycle with my girlfriend on the pillion. We were
back again the following year for our honeymoon.

While our children were growing up we spent
many happy holidays there hiking the high mountain trails and exploring the
glaciers. All the locations in this book, including the glaciers, mountain
railway, cable cars and refuge huts are described exactly as we saw them.

After twenty years of hard work together we
were in a position to buy a holiday home in Chamonix with a fantastic outlook
directly onto Mont Blanc. Much of this book was written while sitting on the
terrace with a laptop drawing inspiration directly from the mountains.

First and foremost I would like to thank my
wife, Sharon, for the months of neglect she suffered while my head was away in
the mountains writing this book. How you’ve put up with me all these years I’ll
never know!

Next my good friend Chris Peacock for the
awesome job he does on the cover art for my books. You really rock man!

Now my professional help. A great big thank
you goes out to the late Angela Sibson from
Angel Books
for her
professional editing and all her personal kindness and support over the years.
Rest in peace Angela.

Finally a big thank you to you, dear
reader, for choosing this book out of the many thousands available. I sincerely
hope you enjoyed it.

THE DIGITAL MAN

A missing scientist, a serial killer on the
loose.

One woman knows the truth, but no one’s
listening…

Eminent British scientist Dr Roland Baxter
is on a mission to create the world’s most advance on-line anatomical research
tool: The Digital Human.

He travels to the United States to collect
the body of an executed serial killer, which has been left to medical science
and promised to him for the Digital Human project.

But things are not as they seem with Dr
Baxter or his project. Shortly after returning to London with the body, Baxter
mysteriously disappears.

Then the murders begin…

 “…a cracking good story with a powerful,
intriguing plot… compelling!”
