Too
Determined
To
Die?
When does wanting to know turn into an obsession?
When a journey of discovery turns into a battle for life or death.
Peter Joslyn's first novel featuring Tim McCarthy
Investigation, Intrigue and Emotion
Devastated when his wife Emma leaves him, and unable to convince the police to accept her disappearance as suspicious, Tim McCarthy has only one option – to investigate it himself.
Chasing clues through the East End of London, the French Alps, New York and Geneva, he discovers that she’s not the woman he thought she was.
Becoming unwittingly entangled in a covert global network, riddled with corrupt politicians and police officers, Tim’s world becomes an increasingly dangerous balance of risking his life whilst endeavouring to pacify his daughter, a newly recruited police officer.
A Dangerous Adventure
In the end, there is only one question.
Is Tim McCarthy too determined to die?

What Beta Readers Say
Charlotte Weeks
Rowena Richardson
Rhiannon Davies
"Absolutely gripping - I couldn't put it down! Tim's journey is full of twists and turns and things I didn't see coming. It's an immensely detailed plot that jumps to lots of different locations, and yet I still found it easy to follow - it's a page-turner throughout."
"A fast- paced mystery which holds the reader’s attention throughout. The characters are well written and empathetic and the plot unfolds convincingly, offering a lot of surprises and twists on the way. This is not a traditional ‘murder mystery’ which is just as well as there are too many of
these and they become formulaic."
"I particularly enjoyed all the descriptive passages. You paint such wonderful, vivid word pictures.
I could almost smell the scenery when Tim drove from Geneva to Albertville.
I loved the scary bits too. The journey to meet Barry Curtis, and then meeting Johnny Hoskins. The chases were heart beating moments."
