Hello. I write novels and screenplays and very occasionally, short stories and comic-books.
My new novel, ‘The Mobster’s Lament’ is out now. It’s the third instalment in the multi-award winning ‘City Blues Quartet’, and has recently been shortlisted for Best Crime Novel of the Year at the Amazon Publishing Capital Crime Festival.
It’s also been featured as one of the Books of the Year by both The Times and The i newspapers, and was The Times’ Book of the Month in March.
Its backdrop is New York’s nightlife in the late 1940s. A noirish world of rainy nights, neon lights, basement jazz clubs, artist’s lofts, choirines and wise-guy detectives. You can find out more about it by clicking here.
