The Hidden Gospel Chronicles

The Gospel in the Storm

Medieval Winchelsea, the Great Storm of 1287 and the Mary Stanford lifeboat disaster become the threads of a historical and supernatural mystery. The discovery of a lost Christian gospel brings the past into unsettling contact with the present.

Revelation in Ruins

The mystery continues through archaeological discoveries, religious questions and the buried history of Greyfriars. In a landscape shaped by centuries of faith, the traces of the past open a new chapter in The Hidden Gospel Chronicles.

Truth Unveiled

The third book in The Hidden Gospel Chronicles explores the origins of Christian tradition, ancient documents and the consequences of historical discoveries. Questions of faith and history become questions about the responsibility that comes with uncovering the past.

The Trace Upon the Stone

A traveller’s notebook describes a family remembrance associated with Thomas the Apostle. Its author recorded the encounter carefully, then agreed to leave the telling itself unwritten.

For Claire Redmond, that decision opens an enquiry reaching from English archives to Christian households in Kerala. With James and Helena Vane, a scholar of early Christianity, she follows accounts whose differences may matter as much as their similarities.

But the closer Claire comes to the tradition, the less certain she becomes about what should be published, who has the right to interpret it, and whether some truths survive only by refusing to become scripture.

As Father Hugh’s health begins to fail, the search for an unwritten remembrance becomes inseparable from a more intimate question: what can be kept of a life, a voice, a love, when the words themselves cannot be held?

The Trace Upon the Stone is a novel of faith, memory, scholarship and loss – the conclusion to The Hidden Gospel Chronicles.
