The Aphrodite Conspiracy

Matthew Palmer's world is about to be shot to pieces – literally.

A millionaire's wife goes missing in Cyprus and Englishman Matthew Palmer is in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong girl...

The thirty-something entrepreneur has swapped his business life in the UK for a forty-foot yacht and his dream to run a diving charter service in the land of Aphrodite. The days are filled with the hot Cyprus sun and warm sea, the nights with… well, life just doesn't get any better.

A chance meeting with the beautiful but elusive Katherina piques Matthew's curiosity and has him following her two miles out to sea and down into one of the world's most dangerous wrecks in the dead of night. Barely surviving an attack by barracuda and then having to rescue the trapped girl from the depths of the dead ship draws on every ounce of skill and reserve plunging Matthew headlong into a bloody conspiracy of extortion, kidnapping and murder.

Bereft of everything but his life and deported as a suspect, he returns to the UK to track down the source of his humiliation.

Under the tanned and easygoing exterior Matthew's need for revenge festers like an unexploded grenade and at thirty thousand feet over the French Alps on the night flight home a would-be assassin pulls the pin…

"Mike Lawrence's premiere novel moves along at a cracking breakneck pace, a real exciting page-turner that puts recent James Bond novels to shame."

About the Author

Brought up on a literary diet of Alistair MacLean, Clive Cussler, Ian Fleming and similar writers of the nineteen sixties and seventies - Michael has been a wannabe writer since he was old enough to read. But with more than forty years of career and parenthood getting in the way it is only now that his first dynamite novel The Aphrodite Conspiracy gets to see the light of day.

Michael has written this story to be easily savoured by anyone wanting to escape from everyday life into a rip-roaring thriller. As an accomplished Divemaster and owner of one of the fastest production motorcycles on the face of the earth, Michael is no stranger to the world that he writes about. Set in Cyprus and the UK, The Aphrodite Conspiracy is not a story written purely from imagination...

Graham Rye, The Editor & Publisher of 007 Magazine describes The Aphrodite Conspiracy:
"Mike Lawrence's premiere novel moves along at a cracking breakneck pace, a real exciting page-turner that puts recent James Bond novels to shame."

Michael lives in Dorset, on England's stunning south coast.
