Langford; The Short Story Collection - Volume 6
Join Blake Langford and his colleagues in four new short stories that complement the novel series; The Blake Langford Adventures and complete the 2026 series. In this collection, there is also a hidden short story from my Patreon Channel that covers Eric Gordon's demise as head of Special Branch.
Whatever Happened To A Good Old Fashioned Broken HeartWhen Special Branch Agent Alison Pearce indulges in a fleeting one-night stand with a charming stranger she meets at a Soho cocktail bar, she assumes it's a harmless escape from her high-stakes life. But the morning after, her world unravels. Summoned to an urgent meeting with Eric Gordon, Head of Special Branch, Alison learns that a compromising sex tape from that night has been emailed to every operative in the agency. To her horror, the video has been expertly manipulated to make her partner appear as her trusted colleague, Blake Langford, a man she's never crossed that line with.
The River
When the body of Special Branch agent, Joe Knight is found floating in the Tyne River near Newcastle's Quayside, questions swirl around his death. A Londoner through and through, Joe had no apparent ties with the north east, so why was he there and who wanted him dead?
QuizWhen Counter-Terrorism Command Officer Blake Langford persuades his colleague Frank Jackson to join a TV quiz show, he expects tough trivia, not a deadly conspiracy. Unbeknownst to Frank, his appearance exposes a covert operation and the moment the cameras stop rolling, his life spirals into danger. Following the charismatic host to a waiting limousine, Frank is ambushed and bundled inside. Tyres screech as the car races into the night, entangling him in a web of betrayal and secrets.
Sunday Morning Church
Counter-Terrorism Command agent Blake Langford is no stranger to danger, but his latest assignment takes him into uncharted territory: the quiet village of Doolin in Ireland where a seemingly serene Sunday morning church service hides a sinister plot. When intelligence surfaces that a radical group plans to disrupt the nation's morale by targeting a historic cathedral during its weekly sermon, Blake is dispatched to infiltrate the congregation and neutralise the threat before it unfolds. Posing as a devout newcomer, Blake navigates a web of suspicious parishioners, an enigmatic vicar with a shadowy past and a cryptic churchwarden who knows more than she lets on. As hymns echo through ancient stone walls, Blake uncovers clues pointing to a high-stakes conspiracy tied to stolen Cold War secrets and a revenge-driven mastermind. With the clock ticking towards the final amen, he must decipher the truth hidden in scripture and stained glass, all while evading detection by those who'd kill to keep their plans buried. In a race against time, Blake's sharp instincts and unyielding resolve are tested by moral dilemmas and unexpected betrayals. Will he save the flock from catastrophe or will the bells of Doolin toll for a darker fate?
