    About this ebook

    Incurably nosey Lucy Harlow takes a job as a PA to David Black, the owner of a specialist engineering firm, and lands in a small office taut with sexual tension. Beautiful but bitter secretary Rachel Owen is obsessed with Black and is already jealous of Lucy. But there’s something more sinister than unrequited love, with David refusing to travel, leaving the customer interface to a man he clearly finds distasteful, his technical director, Bill Turner. When David asks Lucy to babysit for him and his wife Miriam, Lucy takes the opportunity to find out what’s going on. She discovers a disturbing photograph of a naked Miriam in a wallet in David’s jacket, but little does she realise that it will set her on the trail of a serial killer...

    Oxygen Restriction is a story of fetish and murder, and is the first case for budding young sleuth Lucy Harlow.

    I write thrillers and mysteries, with a little bit of romance, of course.The Scorpian Visitant is an epic fantasy / mystery novel in which sixties teenagers Robbie Higgins and Louise Carlton travel to medieval Oakwood to find the Death Stone of Izar. On their fantastic Odyssey they find love and the reality of their mysterious origins.The Brent Street Haunting is my second novel and was published in October 2013. It is a paranormal story of revenge and murder. Mr. Coates a self-styled African witchdoctor is hell bent on getting even with those he sees responsible for his death, whilst Evangeline Weekes takes the law into her own hands to serve brutal justice on corrupt and predatory members of the establishment. Through one disadvantaged boy Coates and Evangeline are inextricably connected.My third novel is set in the fictional Deep South city of Duisburg. It is a white knuckle ride of a thriller which finds the evil Mr. Coates in league with a sadistic killer of young women to bring his plans to fruition. Amy Simms is a junior reporter on The Duisburg Star and is obsessed with hunky businessman Jake Webster. Only trouble is Jake is married to her best friend. Amy and Jake ride a rollercoaster of sex, blackmail and murder to stand together against the monstrous Coates. The draft of Duisburg Star was completed early July 2013. I have put it away and expect to publish it in January 2014.My fourth novel "Amanda" is drafted at 105k words. It a dark thriller about a female sex-killer who is relentlessly manipulated to do her half sister's dirty work. Expect this to be published in the Spring 2014. I am currently working on a sequel to Amanda.I also write short stories and have published several mysteries including Switch, Vacant Possession, You’ll Never Walk Alone, Double, and the Lucy Harlow crime stories featuring Oxygen Restriction, TV Torment, Opera Flowers and Northern Star.Please feel free to contact me on Twitter or Facebook. I have also have a blog, see the hyperlink.Regards and best wishesSaul

      A Lucy Harlow Story

      Chapter 1

      Lucy Harlow, five feet four, one hundred and fifteen pounds, was a busty little blond of twenty-two, who changed the colour of her hair with the planets ruling her zodiac. Today, for her first day in a new job, she was a reddish-brunette. The one thing she could not readily change was the tattoo on her right hand. Discreet for sure, but tattoos below the cuff or above the neckline were frowned upon. So Lucy had worn a plaster on it for the interview. She hoped her new employer would not mind. God, she needed this job. She wore a short black leather jacket, a tight red sleeveless top beneath, and a black mini skirt.

      With trepidation, Lucy went to the intercom and pressed the buzzer. ‘Yes, who is it?’ said a perfunctory female voice. Lucy wondered whether this was necessary as she was on security camera and they were expecting the new girl today. ‘Lucy Harlow - I’m starting today.’ The security lock buzzed and Lucy pulled open the door on the reception area.

      The walls were pastel green adorned with several countryside prints in thin gold-painted frames. On the right there was a large red waiting sofa before a low table, with a coffee machine in the corner. To the left a reception desk was occupied by a woman peering into the screen of a PC seemingly oblivious to the presence of Lucy.

      Lucy walked up to the
