No Time for Regrets
(2024)(The sixth book in the Riley Gavin and Frank Palmer series)
A novel by Adrian Magson
It's been a long time since Riley Gavin and Frank Palmer worked together.
Life has moved on. They have gone their separate ways. Riley is still a reporter and writer, while Palmer is now a businessman in the security sector. They are both settled..
Then two men with links to the Foreign Office start asking questions about John Mitcheson, a past love of Riley's many years before. Mitcheson was a contract soldier who made some bad choices. Embroiled in the attempted overthrow of a foreign government, he is serving life in a remote desert prison with no hope of parole or reprieve.
Even though they were no longer involved, it was a sad pill for Riley to swallow..
Yet with the questions comes talk of Mitcheson's possible early release. It's welcome news, but contingent on him being able to tell all he knows about the abortive coup.
Who were its leaders? Its political backers? The names of the shadowy organisers behind it?
Most importantly, who stands to benefit most by uncovering these details?
Riley and Palmer begin to do what they do best: to look into the background. But it's a can of worms which not everybody wants opened. Important people. Powerful people with government connections. People who will kill to cover up their involvement in an international conspiracy.
Then signs of danger soon begin to show: Palmer is attacked and told to stop digging; Riley is intimidated by watchers on her home; a friendly contact and potential whistleblower inside the Foreign Office is deliberately mown down by a car.
Following an abortive trip to the grim maximum-security Unit 495 where Mitcheson is being held, they realise they are being watched.
When they happen on some vital information only Mitcheson could have known, that's when things really begin to go wrong.
Genre: Mystery
