The Pursuit Series


Books Synopsis

Matthew Malarkey is a man on a mission. To find a soul mate. His first problem is where to start looking.
He has tried pubs and bars, all without success, just a sore head and an empty wallet to show for it. Now it’s the turn of technology.
The internet. Cyberspace could be the way to that meaningful relationship that Matthew is seeking.
He signs up on line in the pursuit of love and embarks on a series of dating escapades, with a variety of ladies, only to find that Cupid does not make the quest for love easy.
As Matthew searches for that elusive spark, he finds himself becoming involved in a succession of entanglements, culminating in a date he doesn’t want – with the law.

Matthew Malarkey has hit the big FOUR-O. To celebrate, he plans nothing more than a quiet dinner for two with the lady in his life. But his friend Cecil Delaney has other ideas. In Cecil’s eyes big birthdays mean big parties and there’s no better place to party than Las Vegas, Nevada. In the spirit of ‘keeping the dream alive,’ Cecil organises a surprise trip to the bright lights of Sin City. With his plans hijacked, Matthew decides to play it low key. But it’s hard to stay low key in Vegas and when Matthew inadvertently gets mixed up with the wrong people, he finds himself gambling with a much higher stake than he had anticipated – his life!

Matthew Malarkey has decided it's time to settle down with his detective girlfriend and what better time to propose marriage than on a chilled out holiday on the beautiful island of Ibiza. But Matthew's plans go horribly wrong when he finds himself implicated in an international smuggling ring. In an attempt to solve his problem, he takes matters into his own hands and returns to the island - with disastrous results.

Targeted by a gang of criminals intent on silencing him, Matthew tries to stay one step ahead of his pursuers. But with time running out, the law and the villains closing in, Matthew faces losing his freedom, his relationship - and his life.


Matthew Malarkey is looking forward to a day at the races with his best friend Cecil. But things take an unexpected turn when there’s confusion with his tickets. In an effort to save the day, Matthew takes a decision that turns into a bigger gamble than any he’d expected on the racecourse. Gambling has consequences and soon he is caught up in a web of blackmail and deception, at the mercy of a gang with an audacious plan. With no choice but to cooperate, or risk losing his freedom, Matthew is dragged into a ruthless criminal syndicate in the heart of Spain, a syndicate that wants a return on its investment. As he seeks a way out, it becomes apparent that Matthew is playing a dangerous game, with the odds stacked heavily against him.
