The Loch Ness Enigma

Book 1 of The Enigma Series

Overview


Ian McKnight thought he had left the horrors of war behind after surviving the trenches of World War I. But when Madeline Shaw, a brilliant young cryptologist from Bletchley Park, arrives at his doorstep clutching a set of encrypted medieval parchments, his quiet existence is shattered. The 700-year-old texts hold a secret powerful enough to change the course of the war against Hitler—and McKnight is the only one who can unlock it.

What begins as an academic puzzle soon becomes a deadly race against time, plunging McKnight and Shaw into the unseen battlefield of Britain’s intelligence war, where nothing is as it seems, and no one can be trusted. With enemies closing in, they must rely on their wits—and each other—if they hope to survive.  

But solving The Loch Ness Enigma may come at a terrible cost. Amid the ruins of a forgotten past, they uncover a deadly truth: some mysteries should never be unearthed, but some pasts refuse to stay buried.

Description


The Enigma Series is a sweeping 20-book epic set in the shadowy heart of WWII Europe—where espionage, deception, and long-buried secrets shape the fate of nations.

From war-ravaged cities to resistance safehouses, forgotten crypts to encrypted transmissions, each novel spins a taut web of mystery and suspense. In a world where no one is who they claim to be and trust can be fatal, cryptographers, spies, and scholars race against time as ancient enigmas resurface—threatening to shift the balance of the war itself.

Marked by shifting allegiances, chilling betrayals, and truths buried beneath the rubble of history, The Enigma Series propels readers through history’s darkest hour—where some secrets were never meant to be uncovered.
