Web of Deceit

Welcome to a world of suspicion, innuendo and scandal

Original, thrilling and atmospheric “This is a wonderful and totally original thriller, with the setting in a time when the world wide web was an unknown quantity to all but a select few. Fast paced throughout with characters explained so well you feel you know them. For those not knowing the landscape and areas of North Wales, it must leave a deep longing to visit. For those of us that indeed know and love North Wales, it is evocative of the towns and villages so accurately and beautifully described … I completed the book in two days and thoroughly enjoyed it.” V. Pritchard – Amazon UK Customer Review

Retro Thriller with a Twist… “Web of Deceit combines a number of interesting themes in what gradually builds into a story that I found increasingly difficult to put down. In Web of Deceit Stubbs … leads us through a story of murder, intrigue and technological change. Read it, and put your name down now for your advance copy of the planned sequel…” James Rock – Amazon US Customer Review

Excellent and Surprising Mystery “The characters are very real with good qualities and flaws that anyone can sympathize with… This is one of the few books where you truly are surprised at the twists and turns. As it speeds towards the end, the reader can’t turn the pages fast enough to find out the next shocking surprise.” Amy Goebel Padgett – Amazon US Customer Review

An excellent thriller with twists you don’t see coming “This is a real page-turner with characters the reader really cares about. I strongly recommend those who love a good thriller to read this book.” Nick Rennie – Amazon UK Customer Review

Full of intrigue “This author weaves a web of deceit for the reader to unravel. And the ending is quite a shock… Excellently written, fast-paced and full of suspense—that is ‘Web of Deceit’. I strongly recommend you read this wonderful book.” Florizel – Amazon UK Customer Review

Thoroughly enjoyable, well spun yarn “It’s difficult to find mystery/murder novels these days with a real difference. Charles Stubbs has provided one here. It’s a gem … A great read and strongly recommended.” Essgee – Amazon UK Customer Review

Six weeks ago George Travis was living quietly in North Wales in the UK – keeping himself to himself, bothering no-one, walking and birdwatching in his spare time. Now he’s on the run: wanted by the police, vilified in the national press, and hiding from a man he thought was his friend. In desperation, Travis seeks help from a woman he has met just once, hatching a plan that will lure his tormentor out into the open. But to make the plan work he has to stay one step ahead of the police, the press and the man he eventually comes to know as Yr Hen Was, ‘The Devil’.

Played out against the stunning backdrop of the North Wales mountains, this is the story of how one man strikes back against people who misuse the media to distort facts, exploit innuendo and ruin lives. Set in 1999, it foreshadows many of the real-world smear campaigns, scams and scandals of the following decade, raising questions about how the internet and universal access to the Web will change the way we process information, the way we view the world, and ultimately, what we believe to be the ‘truth’.
