Ian Carew left London to become a teacher in Mirebury, a town lost in the moors of Cornwall where everybody knows each other and life is quiet and pleasant. His elderly neighbour, Mrs Mary Hopkins, treats him like a son, and the local butcher, Jack Cochon, is his closest friend. All that is missing from Ian’s life is a good woman to share his bed with and a little adventure.

Little does he know, he is about to get a taste of both.

One day, when Mrs Mary Hopkins opens her letterbox, she makes a gruesome discovery and suddenly Mirebury is thrown into a state of shock and outrage.

At first, they assume it was a random act, but the horrible deliveries continue and, before long, the townsfolk of Mirebury are forced to acknowledge that they have become the target of a campaign of terror – and nobody’s letterbox is safe.

Is the dreaded “Postman” one of them, or is he an outsider?

Tensions grow and the solid communal values of Mirebury crumble as suspicion and accusations tear the town apart. Neighbour is pitted against neighbour and tempers flare.

The enemy only strikes at night and moves through the fog like a phantom as he makes his deliveries - it seems impossible to catch him. The fate of Mirebury will come down to one man.

LETTERBOX is a dark thriller about how fragile the fabric of small town society really is and how one man, by pulling the right strings, can expose dirty secrets and trigger underlying tensions between neighbours. Letterbox

Shelter from the Storm: An Anthology

It's summer, school's out, the sky is blue, the flowers are in bloom, and I'm working as a tour guide in the salt marshes again. But if you think that means I've put mystery and suspense on the back burner, think again! I'm busy putting "A Hint of Hitchcock" together. The next anthology from Black Beacon Books will be our most suspenseful yet and a release date...well, release week, in fact, has been set for later this year. Can you guess when? Of course, you can. Our chilling tales will be out in the lead-up to Halloween. It's coming together one step and a time, and tonight's task is to write a foreword paying homage to Alfred Hitchcock, the master of suspense.
