The Undertaker is the new page-turning crime thriller from writer Keith Houghton.

  

'If you could save a million lives by taking one
.... would you?'

 

A psychic serial killer known as The Undertaker is stalking the streets of Los Angeles, claiming to be eliminating those responsible for a crime as yet uncommitted.
 
Faced with the seemingly impossible task of connecting the bizarre murders together, Senior Homicide Detective Gabriel Quinn is forced to fight insomnia and departmental politics in the hope of preventing more deaths by the killer's chosen method of lethal injection.
 
When the killer leaves LA and begins a killing spree in Vegas, Gabe finds himself more involved in the murders than he dared imagine. What he thought was just another nut case in need of cracking suddenly becomes a dangerous and very personal game of cat and mouse, compelling him to question his own belief system as he is drawn ever closer to an unthinkable conclusion ...

The screenplay drama Learn To Be Still follows the misfortunes of a hard-sell city exec who learns life's lessons from the other side of the tracks.

 

In the high-pressure world of stocks and shares, Daniel Hennessey is on a deadline. Working as Operations Manager for one of New York City's biggest construction companies is demanding - both in the workplace and at home. Nothing can stand in the way of increasing company profit ... not even people.

 

Sold to the notion of corporate America and loving every minute of the high-power prestige, Daniel is willing to trade everything he owns in order to win his coveted promotion to co-Director - even if that means sacrificing his marriage along the way.

 

It's full steam ahead for the no-nonsense exec ... until one fateful evening when he is involved in a hit-and-run accident, changing his life in a heartbeat.

 

Now, dropped from the top of the food chain, and faced with an uncertain future, Daniel must deal with the reality of his predicament in a world governed by greed, selfishness and ridicule - a world where once he was king - if he ever hopes to survive ...

'Feet firmly planted in the well-trodden traditions of all great space opera, Uth is a Sci-Fi epic - in the vein of Larry Niven's Ringworld ...'

 

Ex-Special Covert Operative Damon Grask is on the run from his former employers, Alien Interventions - the galactic-spanning peace- keeping force set up to monitor, nurture but ultimately control emerging civilisations throughout Glomerate Space.

 

Believing them responsible for the death of his wife, who was also an AI Agent, Grask is prised back out of his unofficial retirement for one final mission.

 

A vast alien artefact known only as Uth has been discovered out on the edge of the Arm. Alien Interventions believe it to be the original birthplace of Mankind.

 

A previous mission to Uth has resulted in failure and the death of several Agents. Fighting against the clock, Grask must rescue the survivors stranded on the strange alien habitat and return its dark secrets back to Alien Interventions for analysis.

 

And the lure to induce his cooperation? ... The incredible news that his wife is actually still alive and a member of the failed mission.

 

Now, together with Agent Morda Turvanikae and Grask's surly sidekick Rin - a genetically-enhanced cat with bad attitude - he must embark upon a deadly mission fraught with danger, intrigue and personal discovery if he ever hopes to see his wife alive again ...
