The Springthorpe Agenda

For a man who hadn't had more than a sip of alcohol for most of his life, how had he managed to consume so much that it interfered with his medicines and led to his death?

Mark Hogarth, a New York newspaper editor, receives a text from his sister, Liv, stating that their father has died. Mark books the next flight to San Francisco to pick up the last of his father's belongings from Springthorpe Manor, an old, red brick, retirement home sitting high on a hill. As Mark sorts through his father's remaining possessions, he discovers strange and cryptic notes in his father's journal that suggest foul play.

Mark becomes convinced that his father may still be alive, even after Heath Dole, the director of Springthorpe, hands him a black urn containing his father's ashes and assures Mark that Ralph Hogarth has indeed passed. Has Mark's grief made him unwilling to accept his loss? Or are Mark's instincts correct? What secrets are being guarded within the walls of Springthorpe, and who can be trusted?

Navigating the dark corridors of the facility, Mark teams up with Sarah Kramer, a Springthorpe nurse, to search for the truth about the mysterious clues and events unfurling around them. They soon discover that Heath Dole will stop at nothing to protect the secrets of Springthorpe Manor.

Highly addictive, The Springthorpe Agenda is a fast-paced roller-coaster thriller and a riveting debut novel.
