FINALIST IN THE 2021 WISHING SHELF BOOK AWARDS
Michael Hollinghurst is a successful corporate lawyer living a comfortable, suburban life in leafy North West London. But on 7 July 2005, his life is transformed when he steps on a London underground train targeted by Islamist suicide bombers. While most passengers in his carriage are killed, Michael survives the explosion but is confined to a wheelchair as a result.
Coming to terms with his predicament and controlling his own feelings of guilt as a survivor conspire to push him in a direction that is out of character and a tad reckless. In a quest to seek retribution, he resorts to embracing the internet and posing as a radical Islamist in order to snare potential perpetrators.
Much to his surprise, his shambolic scheme yields results and is brought to the attention of both GCHQ and a terrorist cell. But before long, dark forces begin to gather and close in on him. There is seemingly no way out for Michael Hollinghurst. He has become, quite literally, a sitting target.

The Executive’s Secret

Secrets at Every Turn: A Life Shrouded in Duality

On the surface, Alex Banner lives the life of a successful business executive, a man who juggles family obligations with the demands of his career. Yet hidden beneath this conventional facade is a man who has spent over two decades entrenched in the shadowy world of international espionage. In a life marked by duality, every decision carries the weight of secrets kept from those dearest to him.
Step into a world where every action has profound consequences. Alex’s journeys span continents and are marked by encounters that blur the line between ally and adversary. Each face he encounters is a reminder of the complex web of connection he navigates in pursuit of a cause greater than himself. Every choice teeters on the delicate balance between a duty to his clandestine endeavors and loyalty to his family—oblivious to the hidden life he leads.
Imagine the tension of living in constant duality. The faces of allies, turned informants, and friends, turned foes haunt him. As Alex reflects on his path, the true cost of his enigmatic existence becomes clear. A burden of secrets shared with no one; they weigh heavily on his conscience. What began as a mission wrapped in patriotism becomes a personal struggle of moral ambiguity and the sacrifice it demands.
Be drawn into the compelling story of a man who must confront the intricacies of human relationships forged under extraordinary circumstances. Will Alex Banner’s alter ego unravel the threads binding his two worlds, or will he master the delicate art of balance? Join him as he stands at the crossroads, with everything at stake and secrets at every turn.

The Ultimate Frame by Andrew M. Semple

About Featured Book: The Ultimate Frame by Andrew M. Semple

Buried Truths and Deadly Secrets

A cryptic email, a chilling discovery, and a life crumbling before his eyes—John Roberts never imagined how quickly everything he knew could unravel. He stumbled into the scene all too perfect in its malevolence: his best friend, Will Jacobs, lifeless against the polished mahogany of his office. A professional hit, cunningly disguised to frame him, a master stroke of ingenuity that could only come from the hidden depths of a ruthless conspiracy.

Each bloodstained detail became a terrifying brush stroke on the canvas of John’s nightmare. The police, relentless and unsympathetic, were ready to close the net. Detective Miller led the charge, his gaze unyielding, cutting through John’s desperation as if the truth was already written in the stillness of the room. As questions and accusations flew, one horrifying possibility crystallized in John’s mind—he wasn’t the architect of this tragedy, but he was undeniably its pawn.

The realization that Will’s death was more than just murder, but the linchpin of a greater, sinister plot, pushed John into dangerous territory. The groundbreaking cancer drug that had consumed their lives wasn’t just a beacon of hope; it was a coveted prize in a game of corporate warfare and espionage, where shadows carried daggers and the stakes reached far beyond anyone’s imagination.

With adrenaline pumping through his veins, John’s path became clear. He wouldn’t be a lamb led to slaughter. Instead, he embraced a new reality—a fugitive, racing against unseen adversaries, diving deep into the murky waters of betrayal and corporate secrets. In this deadly race for innocence, only the truth could set him free. The clock ticks with lethal precision, and John’s quest to uncover the conspiracy becomes not just about saving himself, but ripping away the veils of deceit to expose a truth powerful enough to destroy the empire that engineered this nightmare.
