If you like a detective thriller with period details, historical accuracy, quirky characters, fast paced plots, a tinge of the supernatural, and immersive settings, then you will love the Jack Sangster mysteries.  The series, which takes place in the late 1960's and early 1970's, features the cases of a special investigator with a sleuthing talent for finding missing children, and begins with ‘The Face Stone’, set in England's North West in 1969. The second, ‘Angel’s Blade’, takes place in Cornwall a year later, and the third, 'Jehovah's Wind', in Devon shortly after that. And whilst the novels feature a number of recurring characters, each of the books is a complete story in itself, so you can read them in any order.

New Lewis Hinton works, such as movie scripts, poems, and novels, including further adventures of Sangster, are always in the pipeline, and we'll be announcing these as and when we can. 

You can keep up to date with Lewis’ social media, reviews, and upcoming events here, as well as accessing author extras, with details of the locations, folklore, history, and other inspirations for the books that will only be available in ‘Beyond the Mystery'.
