The Handshaker’s Reign of Terror Continues

Today sees the release of The Deep Secret, the long-awaited sequel to The Handshaker.

Like the original, the book contains graphic scenes of sex and violence, and throughout, it has a nagging puzzle which hypnotist Felix Croft must solve.

There’s a bit of me in Croft. He’s fabulously wealthy and I’m flat broke. He’s tall and fit and has a magnetic appeal which draws in women. I’m short, fat, and I have a propensity for plain speaking which drives away everyone, including women. You can see he’s practically a mirror image of me.

We both like puzzles. I love crosswords, sudokus and logic problems, which is probably why I chose to write whodunits. The Handshaker was littered with anagrams which Croft had to crack.

The Deep Secret has its share of puzzles, but they’re not anagrams… well not all are anagrams.

I’ll not say anything more about it. You’ll have to read the book if you want to tackle the puzzles.

It’s available now from many sources and because it’s a launch, you can get The Deep Secret for just 99p.  With The Handshaker priced at 98p, it means you can get both for less than two quid. . You can download the e-book from:
