"Pairs high-octane action and gripping suspense to keep readers on edge until the final, unpredictable conclusion" - D.Donovan, Midwest Book Review

Jane Kelly, has completed installing solar panels to electrify a remote village in Pakistan. She unwittingly runs afoul of a powerful and ruthless feudal landowner. He uses a terrorist group to frame her for blasphemy, an offence with a mandatory death penalty.

Not satisfied with Jane’s incarceration and almost certain execution, her enemies plot to kill her. Jane’s only hope lies with her two loves, Sergei and Razane, but Razane is fighting the demons from her troubled past as a Peshmerga fighter.

With the feared Pakistani Intelligence breathing down their necks, they’re running out of time, options, and hope.

This unpredictable, fast-paced thriller and erotically charged love story will have you on the edge of your seat and reading late into the night.

The Blasphemy Law is set in modern-day Pakistan, a South Asian country astride the geopolitical and ideological fault-line of Asia. Terrorist groups vie for supremacy, trying to create conditions to topple the corrupt and fractured administration.

With the world’s 13th most powerful military, the 6th largest nuclear arsenal, a population of 207 million, high illiteracy, grinding poverty, and burgeoning support for Islamic fundamentalism, it is a nuclear-charged powder keg waiting to explode.

The Blasphemy Law is based on an amalgam of true stories about an unfair and cruel law that is designed to oppress minorities and settle political and land disputes. It is well-researched fiction set in a beautiful but dangerous country and is a harrowing tale of manipulation, deceit, greed, abuse of power and religious extremism.
“The author uses his own experience struggling against extremists and terrorists to good effect. The bad characters are oozing with evil and so real you will see them in your nightmares for a long time to come.”
