Caught on Camera: A mystery thriller with a thirty-year-old secret that needs to be uncovered.
A photograph is worth a thousand words, but is a photograph worth killing for?
Caught on Camera is the story of a thirty-year-old photograph discovered amongst a dead man's belongings. Innocent as the picture looks, it holds a dark secret that someone will stop at nothing to preserve.
Following the death of his mysterious tenant, landlord George persuades his friend, journalist Tony Vercoe, to trace the family of the deceased man.
Together they discover hidden documents. Among them is a thirty-year-old press cutting, as well as a roll of 35mm negatives plus two black and white photographs. All are connected to a crooked car dealer.
Nothing made any sense until they found a passport proving the dead man was not the person he said he was. That was not the only surprise; he was also wanted by the police for murder.
No longer a simple news story, Tony begins to dig deeper. It soon becomes clear these old photographs are important to someone, important enough to kill for. By holding onto the photographs Tony knew he was taking a big gamble with his life; he did not mean to put his daughter’s life in danger too.
However, George has not been telling the whole truth about his dead tenant. Now Tony understands that time is running out for him and his daughter. His only hope for them to survive is to uncover the true story behind those old black and white photographs.

About the author
Adrian Spalding
20 books18 followersFinding the time to write has always been the challenge for me. The requirement to feed the family, pay the mortgage and work, all got in the way. I only found the time to write, when I began commuting each day between London and Kent. Thanks to the numerous and regular delays I encountered with South Eastern railways, I was able to actually settle down amongst my snoring fellow travellers to write fiction.
Back in the days when I had ‘real jobs’, I worked as a photographer, a journalist and a charity fundraiser, all giving me the opportunity to see first-hand the life that others lead, as well as regular press passes to Brands Hatch.
Now, a full time writer, living in Kent with my wife, I write both thriller mysteries and humorous detective books, which some say will make a great case study for a psychologist’s convention. My biggest challenge now, is no longer finding the time to write, it is to protect my biscuit tin from sneaky swoops carried out by my grandsons.
