ABOUT

Adam writes gritty, Eastbourne-based police-procedurals with hard-edged authenticity, forming a daisy chain along the south coast alongside the likes of Graham Hurley and Peter James. He has been married for twenty years and has four children. His ambition, as his children keep reminding him, is to own a dog.

His debut novel, DEVIL’S CHIMNEY, was published in 2022 by Joffe Books and introduced the world to Detective Rutherford Barnes; the follow-up, BEACHY HEAD, was published later the same year. Both were Amazon UK Top 50 bestsellers.

The third book in the Rutherford Barnes series, BURNT OUT SECRETS, was released on 4 May 2023, while the fourth instalment, THE CHALK MAN, will be released on 7 May 2024. You can pre-order THE CHALK MAN here.
