The handover of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China at midnight on 1st July 1997, ended 156 years of British rule in the former colony, which began in 1841. It also marked the end of British colonial prestige in the Asia-Pacific region which never recovered after the Second World War.
The transfer, marked by a handover ceremony attended by Charles, Prince of Wales (now King Charles III) and broadcast around the world, is often considered as marking the definitive end of the British Empire.
This novel takes you behind the official facade to reveal the clandestine activities of the Secret Services, as many of the popular Shady Fields Characters, and some new ones ply their trade craft, and it delivers espionage thrills and spills by the bucket load.
The latest gripping instalment of the 'SECRETS' series is here!
Celia Browning, the former head of the Secret Service, is living at Shady Fields, a care home for retired secret agents who are now struggling with memory problems.
She is suddenly thrust into a life-threatening situation, when Vector 10, an illusive hacker, discovers incriminating documents relating to the murder of a government inspector.
Daniel Grant and his team are determined to uncover the truth behind Vector 10 and investigate a sinister plot involving the control of global energy markets.
As the investigation deepens, Daniel and the other residents are forced to confront the dark secrets of their pasts and the lengths they went to, to protect their country.
With his life, and the lives of the other residents on the line, Daniel, and his team embark on a thrilling and suspenseful mission to discover the truth and protect STATE SECRETS.

The Second book in the 'SECRETS' series is still available
The Good Friday Agreement was drawn up in 1998 and nearly 100 terrorists had their past 'cleansed', but not everyone received a 'comfort letter'. Some former IRA members had been hung out to dry, and they had to resort to a life of crime to make ends meet.
The past has a habit of catching up with people, and when an IRA fugitive decides to become an MI5 Supergrass, shockwaves reverberate throughout the underworld he is a part of.
Ghosts from his past come back to haunt him, and many people now want him dead. So, Daniel Grant, the newly appointed Director General of the British Secret Service, hides him in a safe house with a difference.
Shady Fields is a retirement home for ex Secret Agents, but don't let that fool you. They can still call on their expertise when the safety of their home is threatened.

The book that started the 'SECRETS' series is still available
Set in a residential home with a difference, the residents are former secret agents who worked for the security services throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties. They have grown old, some of them have developed dementia and one or two of them are starting to talk.
Daniel Grant was a Secret Agent who retired from active service after he was shot. Hilary Geddes is a career civil servant who dislikes how society writes-off the elderly. Together they run Shady Fields.
Senior Security Service officer, Bernard Cummings is being lined up for a top job but has secrets of his own that he would rather stayed buried. When one of the residents threatens a tell-all memoir that could potentially implicate him, Cummings decides to take action.
An electronics boffin, a femme fetale and an aristocrat (who periodically thinks he is Lord Lucan) find themselves at the heart of an intrigue which begins with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Staff and residents have to work together to protect their own and see justice done, but that won’t be easy.
