Landscape of Shadows
France, 1941.
The choice: One killer? Or ten innocents?
The small town of Dinon is under German occupation. Max Duval, its mayor, appears to have accepted the German presence and encourages his citizens to do the same. He owns the Hôtel Picardie, whose most important resident is Major Egon Wolff, German commandant.
A Resistance team kills two German troopers, and the uneasy calm of Dinon is shattered. One of the assassins, the headstrong and beautiful Sophie Carrière, takes refuge in the Hôtel Picardie. Despite his disapproval of the assassinations, Max keeps her safe. Sophie accuses Max of collaborating with the Germans, but Max is no collaborator – he has his own secret methods of resistance, which Sophie has now jeopardised.

The Leonardo Gulag
Gold Winner in the prestigious Foreword Indies Book of the Year awards.
Stalin’s Russia, 1950.
Brilliant young artist Pasha Kalmenov is arrested and sent without trial to a forced-labour camp in the Arctic gulag. This is a camp like no other. Although conditions are harsh and degrading, the prisoners are not to be worked to death in a coal mine or on a construction project. Their task is to forge the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. There is a high price to be paid for failing to reach the required standard of perfection, particularly as the camp commandant has his own secret agenda. When the executions begin, Pasha realises that only his artistic talent can protect him. But for how long? Worse horrors are to come – if he survives them, will life still be worth living?
