Not one to hold back when it comes to action, he’s a writer who wastes no time in getting straight to the point. This idiosyncratic style of his has now become an almost trademark approach of his, as he immediately delivers on every level.

Winning awards for his work too, he’s also gone on to receive the ‘National Indie Excellence Award’ in 2016, along with the ‘Readers Favourite Award’ and the ‘IPPY’ in 2018.

These Mortals

First coming out in March on the 22nd, this would originally be released back in 2020, as it would be the seventh in the ‘Mackenzie August’ mystery series. Setting up another self-contained mystery, it does feature plenty of elements from the previous books, whilst also featuring a complete mystery. The books can be read in no particular order, but it’s best to read them chronologically so as to really get the most out of them.

Coming to Mackenzie August with a case he can’t turn down, Darren Robbins demands that he investigate and locate his ex-wife who’s been missing for five years. Abducting and holding Veronica Summers, Robbins uses her as leverage to ensure that Mackenzie takes the case, threatening to kill her if his ex isn’t found by Thursday. To further complicate matters, Darren has faked his own death to hide himself from the crime-syndicate, the District Kings, leaving plenty of unrest in the underworld. Will Mackenzie be able to find the ex-wife in time, can he stop Darren Robbins, and what will become of these mortals?

A solid mystery story with plenty of suspense, as it really does ensure that the reader is held upon the edge of their seat. There’s so much character development here too, as it really carries their various different arcs forwards in a satisfying manner. Knowing the world well at this point, Lee gets straight into it, pushing the story ahead with both confidence and intelligence.

Paradise Royal

Initially published on the 28th of July in 2020, this would mark the third book in the ‘Sinatra Thriller’ series of novels. Following on from the previous books it would continue in much the same vein as before, whilst also featuring some twists and turns of its own. Paving the way for the fourth book, ‘Martinez,’ to be released in 2021 the following year, this would be published on the Kindle platform. It’s another straightforward action thriller, with lots of excitement, as it’s a perfectly competent story for fans of the author, and of the genre as a whole.

Out shopping for apartments, Manny Martinez is one of the most dangerous men in the world, and he’s reluctant to face the new responsibility. That’s when in the Defense Intelligence Agency trouble begins to brew, as important documents are stolen, leading to the Sinatra Team being activated. Heading off through the Caribbean now, Manny and Beck attempt to chase the thief, as paradise burns down around them. Will they be able to get the important documents back, can Manny deal with the beautiful woman toying with his heart, and what will take place in Paradise Royal?
