I’m now four (five, if you count the anthology of his first three outings) books in to the Rutherford Barnes series, and I don’t think I will ever tire of the sheer thrill of publication day. There’s the delight of receiving a box of paperback copies in the post, wave after wave of well-wishing and…

This post is especially for my merry band of ARCers – I wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU for your time, insights and honesty in reviewing advance copies of my latest Rutherford Barnes book, THE CHALK MAN. I had a few objectives in mind when I started writing THE CHALK MAN: I wanted…

There are just 21 days to go before voting closes for the 2023/24 People’s Book Prize. This is, as the name suggests, an award voted for by the readers, and for the readers, and is intended to give new and relatively little-known works a bit of a leg-up, exposure-wise. I have been lucky enough to…

I’m thrilled to announce that BURNT OUT SECRETS is now available as an audiobook, with the inimitable vocal talents of Rhys David at the helm.

This blog was originally published as an article in Issue #797 of RED HERRINGS, the Crime Writers’ Association monthly bulletin The theme of criminals masquerading as cops has been germinating in my brain for some time, but it took Anne Penketh’s article in the March 2023 edition of Red Herrings (Police behaving badly: What are…

Well, he’s done it again. The unbelievably talented Rhys David has put his vocal prowess to BEACHY HEAD, the second in the Rutherford Barnes series, which is out now on Spotify, Audible, Apple and all other major audiobooks retailers (see sidebar for links). The third in the series, BURNT OUT SECRETS, will be out for…
