The Doodled Asterisk (Paperback)

A Deadly Puzzle Surfaces Amidst the Bombshells of War

March 1941: As the bombs rain down on Britain, James Farrar receives a mysterious summons that will propel him straight into the line of fire. An alleged survivor from a torpedoed ship has a message for Farrar from the captain who went down with it - a secret so explosive that someone is killing to keep it buried.

Joined by his old friend Philip Tolefree, who's also been inexplicably drawn into the fray, Farrar heads for the coastal town of Westport. But their arrival ignites a series of haunting events - gunshots, a devastating air raid, bodies burned beyond recognition, and a puzzling doodled asterisk beside a clock that may hold the key to it all.

One thing is clear: no one can be trusted, and a dangerous game of deception and betrayal is afoot. From the bomb-ravaged streets of London to the deadly Cotswolds and Welsh countryside, Farrar and Tolefree must unmask a cruel assassin before they become the next casualties of war's perfect crime.

Blending World War II intrigue, ingenious clues, and a lethal conspiracy at its core, The Doodled Asterisk is a tour-de-force thriller that will leave you breathlessly turning pages until the final, shocking twist.
