Now, it's time to do things his way. But death and tragedy haven't finished with him... yet. Fans of Rachel Abbott, Michael Connelly and Peter James will be hooked by this breathtaking new voice in British crime fiction. DEAD BY DESIGN is the jaw-dropping follow-on to STORM LOG-0505 A man walks into a bar and starts talking to a random stranger who turns out to be one of the most celebrated SAS legends of all time... no, it's not a joke, this is real, and this was the night that forged my future as a crime writer. It was August 2012, and I had recently resigned from my job as a police detective within Bath CID. After twelve action-packed years serving my community, I had called it a day to relocate to North Devon with my wife and eight-month-old daughter and give her the best possible start in life. However, after a couple of jobless months, I became homesick and returned to Bath for a night out with my old police pals. What happened next was simply life-changing. You see, the unknown stranger beside me was none other than the international best-selling author of the Danny Black action thrillers, Chris Ryan. As we chatted, Chris suggested that I had a wealth of police knowledge that most crime writers would literally die for, and, he suggested, why didn't I give writing a go myself? The next day back in North Devon, I relayed my thrilling encounter to my wife and mentioned what Chris had said about me taking up writing. To my surprise, she agreed! So right there, right then, I opened my laptop and Detective Andrew Deans was created. Eight years on and I cannot imagine life without writing; it has become an integral part of me. I have fostered friendships, have a loyal readership and enjoyed international success that is still beyond my comprehension. I've always been a firm believer in things happening for a reason and now I am my own living proof of that theory. Just imagine for a moment - what if I hadn't been standing next to Chris Ryan - would any of this have happened to me? So, if you like authentic edge-of-your-seat suspense and gripping action, why not try one of my books. The DI Chilcott series is contemporary British crime - gritty and compelling. The Detective Deans series shares all of those qualities with the added spice of the paranormal.
