Crime Thrillers For Those Who Demand Authenticity.

If you’re tired of padded, fictional, police work, you’ve found the right author. Since 1996 Andrew has worked the crime scenes as a CSI in Yorkshire. He knows where the bodies are buried—and what to look for when they’re found. His novels are a visceral, no-holds-barred look at the pursuit of justice, following characters like SOCO Roger Conniston, CSI Eddie Collins, and DS Regan Carter as they hunt depraved criminals. This is not a clean, tidy, investigation. This is the raw truth that most authors only guess at. This is British crime that bleeds. Better get comfy on the edge of your seat.
