THE STAKES DON’T GET ANY HIGHER


Archaeologist and former spy Ava Curzon’s world is transformed after the violent theft of the Turin Shroud pits her in a desperate struggle against a fanatical apocalyptic Russian cult. The trail leads her and her team around the globe - from London to the Vatican, Paris, and Jerusalem. They’re quickly plunged into a chaotic whirlwind of Christian extremism and biblical manuscripts in a desperate bid to unravel the mysteries of an ancient icon belonging to the shadowy Order of Malta.

However, time is running out, as military violence breaks out across the Middle East. Ava finds herself pulled into a terrifying climax amid mountaintop ruins where once medieval Christian fundamentalists burned themselves alive. It’s more than just her life at stake – the safety of the world hangs in the balance.


Expertly paced and filled with explosive action, The Apocalypse Fire is the follow up to Dominic Selwood’s The Sword of Moses, which sold over 65,000 copies.

Praise for The Sword of Moses

"Rollercoaster crypto-thriller… A ride that thrills and educates… Move over Lara Croft!" - Daily Express 

"The plot moves so quickly the reader is at times left gasping for breath … combines the daring and resolve of the Hollywood archaeologist with the razor-sharp mental agility of a Conan Doyle super sleuth" - Oxford Times

Alice, Miriam and Lydia had been inseparable since they first met at Bristol University. They knew they would be friends until they were old and grey but as life’s events take hold it gets harder and harder to keep in touch. When Miriam has a baby she persuades everyone to set up The Short Book Group so they maintain contact. But then Lydia becomes ill and suddenly Alice and Miriam are forced to face a very different future.

 Fast-forward three years and Alice has been happily single for some time after having her heart broken by a lying ex-boyfriend. But when her best friends in The Short Book Group offer their match-making skills, she decides to take the plunge and start dating again. From a handsome pathologist with a penchant for battle re-enactment to a suave businessman with a beautiful car, Alice is inundated with prospective suitors. But things soon unravel as she uncovers the secret heartache, calculating lies and hidden hopes of those closest to her. And her most surprising discovery is the life-changing truth which she has kept hidden even from herself…

Can Alice face up to her own shocking secret - even if it means hurting those closest to her?

It Was You is a story of love, loss, and relationships under wraps. Warm-hearted, witty and moving, it charts one woman’s journey to self-discovery and beyond.
