The Loch Ness Enigma

Ian McKnight thought he had escaped the horrors of war after surviving the trenches of WWI. But his quiet life shatters when Madeline Shaw, a brilliant cryptologist from Bletchley Park, arrives with ancient parchments too intriguing to ignore. As a medieval scholar, McKnight discovers he alone can unlock the secrets of the 700-year-old texts. What begins as an academic puzzle soon turns into a high-stakes mission, leading McKnight and Shaw from a medieval castle in the Scottish Highlands to the covert heart of Britain in London‘s war-torn streets. Hunted by relentless Nazi agents eager to seize the parchments, they must rely on their intellect-and each other-to survive. The parchments‘ revelations hold secrets powerful enough to alter the war‘s course. But solving The Loch Ness Enigma means confronting not only the mysteries within the texts but also the dark pasts they both tried to leave behind. A lifelong enthusiast of WWII and Medieval history, John enjoyed a 30-year career in corporate finance and entrepreneurship before taking early retirement to pursue his passion for writing historical fiction. He is best known as the author of The Enigma Series, an acclaimed 20-novel saga of WWII mystery thrillers that captivate readers with their complex plots, realistic settings, and vivid, memorable characters. His debut novel, The Loch Ness Enigma, has been praised as ‘The Da Vinci Code* goes to war.‘ When not engrossed in his writing, John enjoys riding his motorcycle through the picturesque hills of Northern Illinois or working on detailed scale model ships from the Age of Sail. He and his wife split their time between their small-town home and a secluded lake house in Michigan‘s Upper Peninsula, where the quiet atmosphere of the Northwoods provides the perfect atmosphere for the development of his Enigma stories.
