The investigation leads Blake and his team to the USA and reveals a sinister connection to an entertainment manager based in Branson, Missouri, orchestrating chaos in the world of tribute artists.
As the team digs deeper, they discover rogue showbiz agents are manipulating the success of these performers, turning them into unwitting pawns in a deadly game which is set to come to a climax at the anniversary concert in Memphis Tennessee.
Seven Signs
When a cryptic series of seven symbols begin appearing across Portsmouth, etched into walls, scrawled on abandoned vehicles and even tattooed onto a murder victim, Special Branch Agent, Blake Langford is called in by DCI Heather Fordingbridge to unravel the mystery before it spirals into chaos.
Alongside his colleague, Samir Khalifa, they uncover a chilling connection, each sign corresponds to an escalating act of sabotage threatening national security.
As the investigation deepens, Blake turns to an old friend, Ben Broughton, a former intelligence analyst turned civilian and his wife Jade, a linguist with a shadowy past.
With time running out, Blake must confront a haunting truth: the mastermind behind the signs is someone he once trusted, forcing him to weigh duty against betrayal. In a race against the final sign's deadly promise, can Blake unravel the connection and protect the people of Portsmouth in time?
Persuade Me

With time slipping away, Joe must unravel a web of secrets to find his daughter whilst Blake weighs up the cost of a deal that could change everything.
In My Father's Footsteps
When Special Branch Agent Blake Langford retreats to his holiday home near Lepe Beach, a visit to the quaint church in Fawley Village takes a chilling turn. The local vicar, Ernest Lowe, presents him with an urn inscribed with his father's name, ashes Blake believed were scattered years ago.
Bewildered, Blake takes the urn and heads home, leaving it in his car. Minutes later, a deafening explosion obliterates both the vehicle and the urn. Shaken, Blake returns to the church seeking answers, only to be met by a new vicar who claims Ernest Lowe has been dead for 40 years. As the past ignites in ways he never imagined, Blake must confront a mystery tied to his father's legacy and his own survival.
