TERROR: Armageddon! Apocalypse, Aberdeen
Sequel to DIRECT ACTION
ISBN 978-0-09555450-1-6
Aberdeen, the grey, bleak Granite City in the North of Scotland
and sunny, scorching Puerto Banus, on the Costa del Sol
(the Cocaine Coast: the Costa del Crime) serve as departure and arrival points for many sun-seeking Scots.
Now these disparate destinations have something else in
common: crime! A devastating Terror plot that could destroy Scotland!
Acting Chief Constable Ross is alone: deprived of his beloved
wife and family he is suffering from insomnia and tempted by myriad forbidden fruit.
Sent to Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol to investigate
a mysterious threat to the UK’s Prime Minister, Ross is soon immersed in the glamour and subterfuge of the Marbella jet-set.
But beneath the glitz of super-wealth — luxury yachts, exotic women and high fashion — the undercover cop makes a shocking discovery:
a conspiracy of terror that threatens to decimate Scotland.
If he cannot stop the threat his beloved Scotland will be devastated! Incinerated by Terror!
Tourette’s Tam
I like to create characters and I'm especially pleased with my doric fugitive Tourette’s Tam who stars in Terror —
here is chapter that displays all Tam’s colourful language and inner demons.

DIRECT ACTION: Granite City Crime
Number One Bestseller
ISBN 978-0-09555450-0-9
Superintendent David Ross has secured a transfer
from the Met back to his home town, Aberdeen,
where he expects to raise his family in peace,
safe in the tranquility of the Scottish countryside.
But Aberdeen has changed, the pestilences of drugs
and anti-social behaviour have infected the once
crime-free city.
The perpetrators of a brutal, senseless crime are caught red-handed, but later walk free from the
High Court sitting in Aberdeen.
Soon-after, bodies are discovered in shocking circumstances; the ritualistic-style executions suggest mysterious forces are at work in the Granite City.
No witnesses, no evidence and no suspects. Ross
is baffled, frustrated, but he must stop the slaughter!
DIRECT ACTION excerpt
Here is a gruesome and particularly foul-mouthed extract from Direct Action … it’s not all as profane or as nasty as this, but I do try to make it realistic and violent crime is unpleasant, very unpleasant.
