Paloma Azul

The Thomas Bell series: "James Bond on acid"

The first book in the Thomas Bell series, Paloma Azul, is a full-throttle thriller exploring the dark underbelly of the wildest Balearic island, where the world's beautiful people come to party. Not for the faint of heart.

'The drug hits your stomach first, a warm buzzy glow that spreads through your body like a hot shiver. Then it hits your head and everything explodes, firing off all that dopamine.'

Thomas Bell works for an ultra-secret branch of British Military Intelligence, MIX. When he's instructed to fly to the holiday island of Ibiza to destroy a hidden factory that's flooding Western Europe with high-quality MDMA, he's told that there may be nothing in it. But it's not long before the body-count is rising in his efforts to locate the source of the ecstasy production.

Bell's search for the narco supervillain is set against a backdrop of Ibiza clubs, Man City fans on holiday and visiting Mexican cartel hitmen. Not to mention US Marines, moored just offshore, who are lapping up the Ibicencan hospitality between tours.
