There’s a few authors, many of whom I’m honoured to be friends with, that “ kill” me reading their books. I should explain: A book is so riveting that my kindle falls on me, as I’m way past my bedtime and frightens the life out of me as I can’t put it down! This one, as ever from Stewart, is one of those. Wow! What a plot!One of now and in the past cleverly interwoven. DS Smith is his usual wonderful self, doing his own things and getting into scrapes, and cleverly out of them.. Or not! Theakston is also his own wonderful self- Ill say no more! A brilliant read, one I more than highly recommend… however beware of flying kindles! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE LAKE
A lake shrouded in superstition, a notorious crime family and a team of
detectives chasing phantoms.
Chapman's Lake has a story behind it, and it's a dark one. But when the
body of a half-naked woman is pulled out of the water, Detective Smith
and the other detectives hunting her killer focus all their attention on the
strange symbol branded onto her skin.
This is their first mistake. The murder of the woman is just the beginning,
and it's something that Smith couldn't have predicted in a million years.
The lake has many secrets, and Smith is going to have to change the way
he looks at murder if he's going to stand a chance of solving the most
bizarre murder case of his career.

Stewart Giles – Author Bio
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them,
I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in
South Africa, where we still live.
In 2014 Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head and I came up
with the idea for a detective series. DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the
first in the series was finished a few months later.
3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be
interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed.
However, we decided on a new series - the DC Harriet Taylor: Cornwall
series.
The Beekeeper was published and soon hit the number one spot in
Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well.
I continued to self-publish the Smith series and Unworthy hit the shelves
in 2018 with amazing results. I therefore made the decision to self-
publish The Backpacker which is book 3 in the Detective Harriet Taylor
series which was published in July 2018.
After The Backpacker I had an idea for a totally new start to a series – a
collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers and The Enigma was
born. It brought together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the
more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
The Miranda trilogy is something totally different. A psychological thriller
trilogy. It is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
The Detective Jason Smith series continues to grow. I also have another
series featuring an Irish detective who relocated to Guernsey, the
Detective Liam O’Reilly series. There are also 3 stand alone novels.
