What Happened to Rachel?

Conrad Jones

Frightening, scarily real, brutal but addictive! A standalone novel by a gifted, gritty crime writer.

​

An atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than a hangman's knot.

​

Rachel Evans, a selfie queen and social media superstar, went to school and never came home. DI Alan Williams and his team launch a desperate investigation to find her.

As the country is plunged into lockdown, the price of narcotics skyrockets, causing friction between rival dealers. As the body count rises, the investigation focuses on several teenagers, who are victims of Criminal Exploitation, used by organised crime families to sell drugs in rural areas.

Was Rachel involved, or was her disappearance linked to something much darker?

Circus of Nightmares

Conrad Jones

The draining of a pond on a construction site leads to a grim discovery which could answer the five-year-old question: what happened to a young couple last seen at the travelling circus?
The Circus of Nightmares is an Internet sensation pushing the boundaries of magic and illusion, blurring the lines between excitement and fear.

It has become the most popular live show of its kind, but something travels with it.

Something dark.

Something sinister.
When they arrive unannounced on the beautiful island of Anglesey, Detective Inspector Alan Williams and his team uncover a series of sexual assaults reaching back decades. The evidence is clouded by the passing of time, but one thing is beyond clear, evil incarnate has arrived in his piece of paradise.
