George Carling's day job: Peer of the Realm. His former occupation: retired spy. He is the spymasters' spymaster; the man who knew all the secrets of the Cold War. But now the press are hinting that he might be the Fourth Man, or rather the Fifth Man, or was there even a Sixth Man? The newspapers think his modus operandi were too good to be honest. So, when SIS send young Timothy Matthews to talk with Carling, it emerges that Carling's real secrets are deeper and more astonishing. And when Matthews makes a trip to the USA to dig further, fears that old skeletons are about to be unearthed cause the authorities to take some drastic action to stop him talking to a retired CIA man. "The Spirit of Liberty" is the startling story of a spy who wanted to be a good man; a man who knows about Kim Philby's last great coup - the ultimate deception of the Cold War.

When millionaire businessman Ivan Digby asks jewellery designer Jo Radcliffe to create a necklace for his fiancee Miri, using the precious stones from the priceless 'Fieldingley Necklace', Jo is intrigued.

She works hard to befriend them, and earn their trust, but disaster strikes when the rubies are found to be fakes. Jo finds herself under attack from all sides: Ivan and Miri are furious with her, and Tim Fieldingley, Betsy's rather likeable grandson, also seems to blame her, unfairly, for the slight to the family name...

Death Comes to a Deserter
Published February 2007 by Severn House at £18.99
ISBN: 0727864629
The American attack in Hurtgen Forest during WW2 cost thousands of lives. The battle destroyed an entire division in a month and became known as 'the Death Factory'. Despite outnumbering the German army, the inhospitable and unfamiliar terrain meant US soldiers were replaced over and over again. Reinforcements or 'the new boys' were drafted in regularly - often for their first taste of battle. One such replacement was an unlikely combat soldier. Pruski had only fired six rounds before. He was also in the Navy and only as the ship's cook. After his first encounter with enemy fire on the front line, he is parted from his division. Exhausted and terrified, instead of tracking down his team, he and another soldier find their way to a French hospital for refuge. On returning, Pruski writes that he will not fight and is imprisoned in the 28th Division's stockade. In what was to come, the horrific slaughter in 'the Death Factory', he had signed his death warrant.

The day Maggie heard her husband's office had burned down, she was heartbroken. Never again would he refuse a restaurant table, niggle about a hotel room or carp about the Yankees or the Giants. But actually, the disaster was worse than she thought. Harold wasn't in the building. He was in bed with a twenty-three-year-old. He didn't even have the decency to go for a bimbo; he was with a beautiful graduate student, younger, firmer, prettier and brighter than Maggie. Now, he's leaving her, and Maggie has to pull herself together. Who should she listen to? The lawyer who's certain he's diddling her on the settlement? Janine, fashionista and benevolent bully, whose motto is "A bitch in time does fine"? Or her overbearing mother, who keeps pointing out that a woman Maggie's age is statistically more likely to be kidnapped by aliens than to find another man?

He will fight against the fanatical Germany commander, Admiral Doenitz whose U-boats almost brought Britain to the verge of starvation in 1941. But unknown to the world, even to Montgomery's allies the Americans, Monty is also going to fight another battle. It is against the Russian ally advancing from the east.

Once the Russians have captured these they will be dominating the sea routes to Britain. The UK will be the prime target in the coming 'Cold War'. Monty has tried to explain this to Eisenhower, the US Supreme Commander, but 'Ike' is not talking to the pesky Britisher and won't give him the extra men and supplies he needs for this strange three-sided battle. Monty decides to go it alone. Using his special reconnaissance units, he sends them forward, heading for the seas and aiming at stopping the Germans forming a solid front in North Germany.
