Renowned chef Elodie Winters’ dream job, private chef to a powerful family in New York, quickly becomes a nightmare when her employer turns out to be the head of a notorious mob family.

Everyone knows about Nostradamus.
No one knows about Philibert Montmorency.
One’s a legend. The other…not so much.
Marseille, 1561
Like the majority of people living in sixteenth century France, Philibert Montmorency is a peasant. Unlike most people, he’s pretending not to be one. Philibert is a conman, but a chance meeting with Nostradamus in a Marseille prison convinces him that being a prophet might be a better career move.
Lyon, Modern Day
Dr Ally Oldfield, renowned professor of medieval languages, has been summoned to Lyon to authenticate a newly discovered prophecy. She’s not happy about it but then again, she’s not happy about most things. As an expert in Nostradamus’s work, she’s convinced the new quatrain is a fake even if the evidence suggests it was written four hundred years ago. When the events it predicts become reality, Ally finds herself in a race against time to prove it’s a fraud.
As society breaks down fearing the end of the world, Ally must use the clues scattered through Lyon’s Renaissance history to work out who wrote the prophecy and why somebody else is responsible for the global chaos, but when Ally is framed for the murder of a rival historian she’s forced to rely on Gabrielle, a ditsy millennial prepper, and Antoine, a secretive aristocrat, to help her solve the mystery and save the world.
‘The End of the World in Nigh’ is book one in the ‘Ally Oldfield’ series. If you love historical thrillers with ‘crushingly dark humour,’ surprising twists and a strong female heroine then the prophecies predict you’ll love Tony Moyle’s compelling page-turner.
Start ‘The End the of the World is Nigh’ today before it’s too late!

If you like a fast-paced book, filled with twists and suspense, and takes you on a ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF THRILLS, then this book is definitely for you!! Bookworm64, ?????
“I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! I am a huge fan of Dan Brown and John Grisham—and I would easily put Christopher Smith in their league. HE IS THAT GOOD! The amount of thought and detail in his books is amazing. I had a hard time putting this book down. I was often sleep-deprived at work because I kept saying, “Just one more chapter…” SMITH’S BOOKS ARE THOSE KINDS OF BOOKS!!” Amazon reviewer, ?????
“ENTHRALLING!!! Smith knocked it way out of the park. EXCELLENT READ!!! I would never have guessed the ending. Wow! Loved it!” NetGalley reviewer, ?????

“OUTSTANDING! From the opening paragraph, I was on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put the book down!!! I have my Kindle books on my Android phone plus on my two computers and so I was reading wherever I happened to be—that’s how intriguing, fascinating, and well-written Fifth Avenue is.

I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a great, thrilling read!” NetGalley reviewer, ?????

Smith never disappoints; in fact, he makes you so connected to the characters that the many twists throw you for a loop. You don’t know who you are pulling for, because Smith pulls the rug out from under you when you least expect it. You finish a chapter and think DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT? Once you’re hooked, you can’t wait to read something else by him because you know you’re in for such a treat!
