On a windy and blistering cold morning, Morgana Usyk, owner of one of DS Tomek Bowen’s favourite haunts, Morgana’s Café, visits Mulberry Harbour a little over a mile out to sea.

A short while later, her body is found in the shallows, floating beside the harbour.

Early reports and eyewitness accounts they saw the killer fleeing the scene. But when storm Alisha rolls in, washing away all evidence, Bowen and the team are left stranded.

Now the water’s rising.

And Morgana’s is not the only body they’re going to find in it.

France, 1941

Missing operatives. A girl that doesn’t fit the mold. A city on the brink.

On the charming streets of Lyon, multiple British operatives have gone missing. With the SOE sending their first agents into France, it’s imperative to know who is betraying the British cause.

When an ally makes a special request, the SIS decides to take a novel approach to the Lyon situation. Stella Bled Lawrence will go in with nothing but a brilliant cover and a partner.

For a city in the free zone, Lyon is home to plenty of Nazis. Some wear the uniform. Many don’t. Peace has come at a high price and desperation is commonplace in a city low on food and patience. The new partners must make friends and they do, but when the Gestapo takes an unhealthy interest in Stella, the situation goes from challenging to downright dangerous. Will the new partners find the information they need or will they get dragged down into the darkness like so many operatives before them?

Double Duet is the action-packed seventh installment in the on-going Stella Bled series, detailing the bravery and sacrifices needed to fight during the darkest days of WWII.

The destiny of the Mars colony and the outcome of the war with the Arethusans are intertwined in Georgia Pyke’s head, and she is yet to realize it.

Three turbulent years since Georgia left Mars behind, assisting the enigmatic Jillnap in the Confederacy’s war against the Arethusans, she is a shell of her past self.

The war effort has taken a terrible toll on her. Prophetic temporal foresight, as Jillnap’s scientists call her ability to see versions of the future, has proved to be a double-edged sword. Although Georgia’s talent has saved millions of lives across the galaxy, she first must first endure death and destruction on a monumental scale. Exhausted and isolated, she is at breaking point.

Despite Jillnaps’s best efforts, it is only a matter of time before the enemy discover who she is and her location in interstellar space. Now they are coming for her. Angry, and confused, Georgia is determined to prevent the Arethusans from capturing her and using her skills to benefit their ambitions of a galactic empire.

A sudden loss confirms her suspicions of a traitor close to her. Whilst the answer to uncovering who it may be lies on the surface of Mars, is it a mistake to draw attention to the solar system once more? Especially when humanity’s attempts to defend itself end in tragedy.
