  The most highly efficient and lethal underwater ship ever built, H.M.S. Unseen, vanishes into the depths while on a training mission, baffling British and American military intelligence including wily National Security Adviser Admiral Arnold Morgan.  
  One year later, the Concorde, the world's safest and most secure domestic plane, disappears without a trace over the North Atlantic. Days later the brand new Starstriker jet vanishes. Both appear to be random inexplicable accidents until Air Force Three, carrying the vice-president of the United States, is blown from the sky.  
  Morgan devises a chilling theory. Not only is Unseen still out there, but it's been modified to become the most dangerous anti-aircraft weapon at sea. And the admiral is convinced that only one man could have masterminded it: The world's most cunning'and reportedly dead'terrorist spy, Iraq's Commander Benjamin Adnam. But what Morgan doesn't know is that the fanatically religious military terrorist has a chilling agenda of his own'a plan that will bring these two intense warriors face to face. . . and only one will come out alive.

  There were three names written down, but the fourth was unknown. A name so painful that it had been scored through. A black scar where once the truth had been spelled out. The Reverend’s role had been clear, but for what he had done, he would have to suffer…
  
   
  When a vicar is reported missing just days before Christmas and two churches are burned to the ground, the police know there is only one person that can help them solve the case: Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, Dr Harrison Lane.
  
   
  An expert on ritualistic and religious crime profiling, Harrison uses tracking skills taught to him by his Native American stepfather to follow the trail of clergymen’s bodies displayed in sinister effigies that warp scenes from the New Testament.
  
   
  Amidst the bitter cold, Harrison pursues a killer who is seeking long-awaited vengeance against members of the church for a sin that has festered for decades. With a lead investigator who is less than co-operative and suspicion hurriedly thrown upon vulnerable members of the community, Harrison can’t shake the feeling that something deeper and darker, linked to his own family’s mysterious past, is hiding below the surface of this investigation.
  
   
  Can Harrison solve these murders before the killer claims their next victim? And does that victim even deserve to be saved?
  
   
  An addictive crime thriller, perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, Rachel Abbott and Angela Marsons.

  George Chetwynd Griffith-Jones was born on 20th August, 1857, in Plymouth, South-West England to a clergyman father who was frequently moved to different parishes.   
   
  Although Griffith did briefly attend school there were only limited funds to provide a formal education for him and his elder brother.  Consequently, they were primarily home schooled with their father teaching them Latin and Greek and their mother, French.  There was also an extensive family library which Griffith devoured. 
   
  At 15 he joined a ship as an apprentice but deserted when it arrived in Australia to travel around for 4 years before working his passage back to England.  
   
  He settled in Sussex, to teach English at a prep school and studied at night to gain formal qualifications.  After a further year of study at a German university he taught in Brighton but now his passion for writing also led him to journalism.  He contributed to various pamphlets, newspaper and periodicals, writing on secularism and socialism as well as travelogues, volumes of poetry and, of course, short stories.  His vivid writing style and knack for storytelling paved the way for his success as a novelist.  
   
  In 1893, Griffith published his first novel, ‘The Angel of the Revolution’, an instant success of dystopia featuring advanced aerial warfare and anarchist revolutionaries.  Griffith's output of over a dozen novels and numerous short stories influenced later science fiction writers and left a lasting legacy in place.  He also wrote romance, adventure and supernatural stories. 
   
  His writing was not always successful, and he often faced personal and financial difficulties. 
   
  George Griffith died at his home in Port Erin, Isle of Man of cirrhosis of the liver on 10th June, 1906.  He was 48.
