Private Nightmares by Geoff Palmer

Private Nightmares by Geoff Palmer

From award-winning author Geoff Palmer comes a page-turning thriller about a missing scientist, vile secrets, and deadly weapons.

MI5 have a problem. Chief weapons scientist Terence Araton is missing and they'd like him found, quickly, quietly, and without a fuss. The perfect job for private detectives Jane Child and Matt Healy of Bluebelle Investigations.

But there's more to this mysterious case than meets the eye. Shocking family secrets lurk beneath Araton's slick English facade, and Jane and Matt aren't the only ones desperate to find him. A pair of hapless crooks and some foreign intelligence agencies are using them as bait, tracking every move they make with murderous intent.

The baffling case reopens old wounds, and soon Matt is battling demons of his past - as well as the ruthless villains chasing them. Then Jane makes a chilling discovery, forcing her to face her own worst nightmare: an impossible life or death, hair-trigger situation where she must make a snap decision and, just possibly, save the world.

Prepare to be nailed to your seat by another heart-pounding, hair-raising, high-octane thriller in the best Bluebelle Investigations tradition.

Telling Stories was Geoff Palmer's first published novel. The manuscript won the 1995 North & South/Reed Fiction Award, and was published in 1996. It received some great reviews from a number of prestigious publications. Unfortunately, the book was out of print before the last of those reviews appeared, and it has remained so-at least until this edition. Geoff is probably best known as a blogger and freelance contributor to New Zealand PC World, a role held for eighteen years. In that time he won four Qantas Media Awards for his columns-not bad for a non-journalist IT guy. His second novel, Too Many Zeros, the first part of a young adult adventure/sci-fi series, was published by Penguin in 2011. Penguin declined the second part in the series and promptly merged with Random House.* When the book went out of print in late 2013, Geoff reclaimed his rights, dusted off the second part-Lair of the Sentinels-along with his notes for the remaining three books, and set about finding a new publisher. This one. All five books will be available from Podsnap Publishing by early 2016. In addition to finishing off that series, Geoff is also working on a number of other projects. Private Viewing, a rollicking romantic suspense novel will be released in July 2015, and the thriller Payback is scheduled for October. And there'll be more! he tells us. Quite a lot more, we hope. *These two incidents may not necessarily be related.
