From Max Fortis, private detective to DI Angelis supernatural crime mysteries, these are my previous crime thrillers. I now concentrate on police procedural crime mysteries.

Max Fortis Thriller

Crime Thriller : Max Fortis

Private investigator Max Fortis is a former Met Police protection officer and MI5 agent.

When a mysterious woman comes to Fortis for help, he becomes embroiled in a ruthless vendetta against him. Partnering with reporter Ella Munro, he takes on an investigation the police won’t touch and uncovers a sordid underworld.

As Fortis confronts the demons of his secretive past, he forms an unexpected alliance to bring down a ghost from his former life—a forgotten enemy hell-bent on revenge.

In this dark and fast-paced crime thriller, secrets and lies threaten to destroy Fortis. Will he break free from his past and deliver justice, or will his enemy exact a chilling revenge?


The DI Angelis Supernatural Crime Thriller Series

Chasing Shadows was the first book I wrote during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is the story:

After a devastating assault that claimed his life, Detective Inspector David Angelis returns as a very different man. His miraculous recovery has people in the shadows asking questions, placing Angelis at the centre of a covert investigation. The most troubling questions concern his new, terrifying abilities, which he struggles to understand. Angelis can see and control the hidden motives of others and glimpse a parallel reality existing alongside our own.

Angelis investigates the murder of a friend and seeks to expose the secret behind his mysterious powers. In his quest for answers, he must confront a deadly assassin and a dark underworld of corporate crime.

The Angelis series is very different from the Max Fortis story, including elements of the supernatural that are unusual in the crime fiction genre.
