Dark Secret: A Welsh Noir Thriller
Not yet published
Expected 15 Nov 26Dave Llewelyn left Blaenau Ffestiniog at fifteen and swore he'd never go back. Thirty years later, disgraced, broke, and facing prison, he has nowhere else to run.
He tells himself he's only there for a dead aunt's house. He tells himself the blackouts are the drink. He tells himself he doesn't remember his sister Emma because some things are better forgotten. But Blaenau remembers him.
When a pregnant local woman arrives with a list of seventeen children who vanished without trace, and a name that makes Dave throw up on the spot, he can no longer outrun what he buried here three decades ago.
Because somewhere beneath the slate tips, something has been waiting for him to come home.

For the day job, I have the unbelievable privilege of travelling the world to test drive, and write about, classic Porsches and Ferraris and the occasional crazy off-roader.
The passion though, has long been writing novels. It’s taken a few long years to get here but Brethren is about to malt its fluffy fledgling feathers and be released into the wild. Hopefully, I wrote it well enough that it can fend for itself.
