'A cracking thriller with a Reacheresque hero you can't help but root for!' – John Ryder
‘Wow, what a book, I loved it!! Rob Sinclair has an innate ability to draw you in and take you on an amazing ride, the character of agent Carl Logan is so authentic and Sinclair portrays him particularly well. All the characters in this story are well developed, the plot is fast paced, intriguing and totally entertaining. I really can't recommend this book highly enough.' – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘OMG ,OMG, OMG I was bouncing off the walls when I realised Carl Logan is back with a new identity in a brand new series. After being gutted when the Enemy series ended. Just in case you didn't know I am a massive fan... lol. But Rob Sinclair has pulled out all the punches with this latest story, it is without a doubt his best book yet….. I freaking loved it.’ – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘I would think Rob Sinclair might rival some of the greats in his field. His writing is tight, current and gripping. He weaves easily between settings and great characters –there appear to be quite a few. And the pace is compelling. This all leads on to a most excellent ending.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘Crikey The Red Cobra opens with an action packed scene and it pretty well doesn’t let up for the rest of the novel. Short chapters with cliffhanger endings add a breathless pace so that The Red Cobra is a really exciting read. I genuinely found it heart-thumpingly exciting and the events even pervaded my dreams at night! There’s quite a bit of violence but Rob Sinclair also knows less is more so he is a master of suggestion as well as description making for an elevated pulse rate in his readers. The Red Cobra is exciting, well written and absorbing – definitely a ‘can’t put it down thriller’. I loved it.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‘The Red Cobra is one fast paced, action packed, thrill of a read. It is actually screaming out to be put on the big screen. Who needs Lara Croft when you have The Red Cobra? Without a doubt this is a fantastic start to a new series and I am literally counting the days down until the author quenches my thirst for more.’– Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'This book is perfect for the fans of Robert Ludlum, Jim Grant and early James Patterson works.' – Goodreads reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Incidents at Stowe House - A...

Jo Currington

After getting wounded in the trenches, Harry finds himself recuperating at Stowe House, a country house in the folds of the South Downs near Chichester which specialises in shell shock cases for the lower ranks. The condition is poorly understood at the time and there is local opposition to the presence of the patients. Their behaviour and treatment lends the house an odd atmosphere. It is surrounded by four thousand acres of woodland which Lady Stowe no longer has the resources to manage, and which now are used by other parties. She is also getting threatening and abusive letters. Lord Stowe is absent, although he has a munitions factory in Portsmouth where there have been strikes about working conditions.
As Harry’s condition improves, he is taken on by Lady Stowe to try and restore some order to the estate. The psych doctor confides in him that he feels that too many patients are dying at the hospital. There had been a spate of suicides over the winter months. But then there are a series of deadly incidents which are staged to resemble common types of death in the trenches. There is also a worrying buildup of deserters lead by the psych doctor’s brother, who has had an affair with Lady Stowe, and has been waiting for her in the chalk caves in the woods all winter.
Some explosives are stolen from Lord Stowe’s factory, and a new doctor arrives, with a brutal new method of dealing with these patients. Military Foot Police are deployed to try and protect the house from the attack which Lady Stowe is getting warning of. And then it all kicks off.
