Book 3 of the Apothecary Greene TrilogyProvidential chance brings Apothecary Richard Greene to the aid of a terribly injured man, the victim of a mantrap on a local estate. His patient's revelation of an astonishing Roman artefact - and its source - will threaten not only the passions and principles that drive Greene's life but will cost the lives of all who become involved with its discovery. Beside that unravelling thread of cruelty and greed, another, stranger, narrative begins with the arrival of The Ashmole Box to Greene's Museum; a mystery one hundred and fifty years in the making. As the box is opened, the veils of time separating the long-dead Ashmole and the inheritor of his legacy dissolve and intertwine. A revenant is summoned, the terrifying pointer to a discovery beyond the Apothecary's wildest dreams. To a place of ancient wonder whose guardian is Death.www.pagedor.co.ukPraise for The Burning Zone (Volume 1): "...a well-crafted, well-constructed novel ... could do for Lichfield what Cadfael did for Shrewsbury." - Ralph James MBE, The Lichfield Mercury"The interesting balance of fact and fiction make this a great read and a real page turner." - Alison Smith, Express and StarPraise for The Bishop's Grimoire (Volume 2): ""This is one of the most enjoyable and unputdownable books I have read in a long time ...

Book 2 of the Apothecary Greene TrilogyRichard Greene, apothecary, antiquarian and museum-keeper extraordinaire, witnesses the chance find of an ancient book, an arcane symbol partially visible on its cover identifying it as a work of ritual magic: A Grimoire. The provenance and authenticity of the age-old book identify it as an incredibly rare survival - a 'Black Legend', stolen five centuries earlier from the Vatican library, owned - and hidden - by Walter de Langton, a bishop of Lichfield who had stood trial for witchcraft around the year 1300 in Rome. No one can envisage the approaching cataclysm: the collision of a demonic, stygian past with the presence of the prophet of Reason and the Nobility of untainted Mankind. Greene must fight for more than life itself, burdened with the terrifying knowledge of what 'The Bishop's Grimoire' contains ... and seeks.www.pagedor.co.ukPraise for Michael Anson's The Burning Zone: "...a well-crafted, well-constructed novel ... could do for Lichfield what Cadfael did for Shrewsbury." - Ralph James MBE, The Lichfield Mercury"The interesting balance of fact and fiction make this a great read and a real page turner." - Alison Smith, Express and Star

Book 1 of the Apothecary Greene TrilogyLittle knowing that the unearthing of a medieval grave slab will propel him into the realm of waking nightmare, Richard Greene, apothecary, antiquarian and museum-keeper extraordinaire, is the sole witness to a sadistic murder. Badly injured in the doomed attempt to save the victim of a fire universally believed to be a tragic accident, Greene emerges from lengthy convalescence only to be drawn into the coils of a demented and murderous search for vengeance enacted from beyond the grave and across generations; a pitiless ritual of retribution inflicted upon all who had sat in judgement upon England's last heretic - the victim a crazed Anabaptist - sentenced to die a hideous death in the last judicial burning to stain English history. Now, as the century of Enlightenment gathers pace around him, the terrors and obsessions of an earlier, darker time reach out to claim one final victim: the woman at the heart of Greene's own life. A final offering to sate the ravening hunger of 'The Burning Zone'.
