Current status:
Journalist Mike Stanhope has been accused of libel – and he’s determined to clear his name. Worryingly, new evidence seems to undermine his case. But is it real, or an elaborate deception?
Trish wants to help ... or does she? Mike is drawn to her, but how will this affect his faltering relationship with his girlfriend?
What starts as a tale of chicanery in the truck building world soon escalates to a much bigger and older mystery involving murder, a cover-up ... and something even worse.
Not Exactly True, the brand new story in the Mike Stanhope series, is as intricate and involving as its five predecessors, and like every book, it works equally well as a stand-alone.

“Enjoyable, multi-layered story …”
“Have you ever read a book you hoped would never end? This was it!”
“Beautifully written, with an intriguing romantic twist …”
“A great representation of the quality of work that is sometimes overlooked or ignored by the publishing world.”
“A fast-paced mind-bending intellectual thriller.”
“This isn’t your typical mystery book where you get all of the answers at the end. There are a number of mysteries going on at the same time … It works really well and makes you keep reading …”
“It had all the right elements – mystery, suspense, and romance.”
“Rowlands is doing a great job of developing a likeable character in writer Mike Stanhope.”
“He’s just an ordinary man who gets into difficult situations. He isn’t perfect; he makes mistakes. He’s authentic, believable and realistic.”
“He ends up getting things done with his persistence.”
“He’s just a normal guy who tenaciously asks questions until he gets to the bottom of a mystery, often with some dire consequences"
“I loved the main character. He’s like someone I might know first hand. I agree with another reader’s sentiments, that he’s not a navy seal, an FBI agent or an expert in kick boxing. He’s normal and human.”
Two young women set off from Crieff at the height of the war to tackle the Highlands on bicycles. How did their plan work out? You can find out by reading their diary on this website. It brims with warmth and immediacy, and brings to life an almost forgotten aspect of that increasingly distant time.
