  A Memory of Demons - out now in hardback
A Memory of DemonsTom Freeman thinks his demons are behind him. He has been sober for ten years, after a period of alcohol and drug abuse that almost killed him. His career is back on track, and he is happily married to Clare. They have a baby daughter, Julia. But when she begins to speak, why does Julia insist that her name is Melanie? And that Tom and Clare are not her real parents? Child psychiatrist Dr Brendan is baffled by her case, but accepts that children are sometimes born with memories of a previous life that cannot be explained away. Tom makes his own inquiries, leading to the chilling discovery that his daughter is possessed by the spirit of a girl who went missing ten years ago, at the exact spot where Tom suffered his last alcohol and drugfuelled blackout...

  Coincidence - reissued in paperback
Coincidence"It started with my father's death. At least, that was how it seemed at the time. Now, looking back, I realize how impossible it is to be sure where anything really begins; or, for that matter, where, or even whether, it has ended". Dealing with his dead father's effects, George Daly finds a photograph, apparently of himself as a boy. But he has no memory of the other people in the picture, or of where it was taken. As a writer of books dealing with the fine line between reality and the unknown, George becomes fascinated by this; and by other material he discovers which suggests there may be a secret in his past of which he has suspected nothing. As he begins to investigate, a series of remarkable coincidences occur, provoking George to start work on a book about the meaning of coincidence (or "synchronicity") itself.

Eventually, however, he discovers that some coincidences may not be as innocent as they seem.

  David Ambrose interviewed by Time Out Magazine
Time‘At the end, I'm trying to mess with the reader's brain in a way that most thrillers don't. I tend to tell Frankenstein stories. Sod life-affirming! I've done that in Hollywood. I want them to say, "He writes mind-blowing books!"
