The Crash

Available now on Kindle and in paperback - An Amazon best seller for medical thrillers and women's short fiction

Would you give up your life for someone else’s mistake? Even if that someone was the person you loved most in the world?

​

A devastating pile-up on the M25 leaves several dead and many injured, including Gregor Johnson, who wakes in Spire East London Hospital, paralysed from the neck down. With no memory of the crash, he struggles to piece together how he got there. But as the fragments resurface, they bring something far more dangerous — a long-buried secret from his past that refuses to stay hidden.

​

As the truth behind the crash emerges, Gregor and his wife, Jessica, must face more than just his shattered body. Their marriage is crumbling, and the choices ahead will test the limits of love, guilt, and sacrifice. A gripping psychological thriller, The Crash explores the wreckage left behind—not just on the road, but in the human heart.

Once he was in, there was no way out…

​

Five years on, a house fire in Yorkshire that left two men dead remains a mystery. Not because of those left behind, but because of those who vanished without a trace – their bodies never found. It’s a cold mystery. One that true crime fanatics debate in online forums, and conspiracy theories go wild for in search of answers. 


Because nothing about that night adds up.


Now one of the most popular true crime podcasts is digging deep, just the latest to revisit the case and unearth the facts and attempt to set the record straight.


How did Lyle Wilkinson — an ordinary long-haul lorry driver — end up dead in his own home alongside a known member of Britain’s most notorious gang? And what really happened to the mother and son who walked away from the flames, never to be seen again?​​​​​
