Dear Readers,
We hope this message finds you all in good health and looking forward to a very different 2021.
With that in mind we have been hard at work on The Chester Bentley Mysteries and have just released book 3 in the series: Chester Bentley and the King of Pirates, based on the true story of Henry Every, who was known during his lifetime as ‘The King of Pirates’, owing to the fact he made off with the greatest pirate treasure of all time and was never caught. But what happened to Every, and more importantly, what happened to the treasure? Read the novel and find out…
In order to mark the launch of this book we wish to give our subscribers the unique chance to download the ebook for FREE, direct from Amazon.

Here’s the blurb:
It’s the 17th century, and in the sleepy fishing village of Newton Ferrers, the young Henry Every is desperate to escape a life of poverty and family strife.
When an unexpected tragedy occurs, he flees to Plymouth, to the dark taverns haunted by pirates and press gangs. Forced into a life at sea then lured into piracy, Henry becomes the infamous ‘King of Pirates’ and discovers a treasure so precious that he goes to extraordinary lengths to secure it.
Still reeling from the excitement of his previous adventure, Chester Bentley arrives at Devon’s oldest boarding school and is quickly drawn into another mystery. Who does the ghostly laughter belong to that taunts him late at night? And what secrets lie in the picturesque fishing village that he is led to? Bentley will have to exercise his unique gift for serendipity and survival, as he contends with the school bullies and a sinister stranger, hard on the heels of his exploits.
This mystery will whirl you from the shores and countryside of Devon to the high seas and exotic lands beyond, compelling you to ask yourself: how far would you go to protect ‘the greatest treasure in all the world’?
We hope you enjoy the mystery…
While you are still here, we would like to offer you the chance to join our Reading Team and become a part of the Chester Bentley Mysteries by helping develop the series. Book number 4, Chester Bentley and the Prize of Roman Britain, is now in its final stages of editing and we are looking to expand the Reading Team and learn, first hand, from the opinions of interested readers.
Suffice to say, there is no cost involved on the part of those participating in the project. Book 5 is already underway and there will be a further two books in the mystery series after that. For those interested we would love to hear from you, so please drop us a line to our email info@mjcolewood.com or contact us via our Instagram account.
