The Isle of Sheppey. The discovery of a wounded, unconscious man left for dead sets in motion a series of events, where mistakes once thought buried in the past are forced to the surface. With lethal results. Persuaded to take one last job, ex-criminal Brendan Quinn is betrayed and left for dead. Now Quinn is on a mission for revenge, finding himself at the centre of a conspiracy stretching back into a past he'd tried to forget. Forced to be a fugitive from an all-powerful crime family, running from men who he once worked alongside, Quinn must draw on all his skills and resources to not only stay alive, but also unravel the mystery of why he was gunned down by his own team, and what the connection is to his own brother's death, years before. Burning Bridges is the explosive new thriller from Matthew Ross, the author of Death of a Painter and The Red Admiral's Secret.
Autorenporträt
Matthew Ross was born and raised in the Medway Towns, England. He lives in Kent with his Kiwi wife, his children, a very old cat and an extremely bouncy puppy.Several years ago he ticked off a lifelong ambition and tried his hand at stand-up comedy. He enjoyed the writing more than the performing and got approached by a leading stand-up comedian to provide material for their nationwide theatre tours, Edinburgh Fringe shows and their appearances on shows such as 'Mock The Week', 'Have I Got News For You' and 'The News Quiz'. But the itch wouldn't go away and he wanted to write again. So he joined the Faber Academy 6-month Novel Writing course in 2016 under Richard Skinner's tutelage and it changed his life.Matthew drew influence from his experiences in the construction industry when writing his darkly comic crime novels, "Death Of A Painter" and "The Red Admiral's Secret" featuring the misadventures of beleaguered builder Mark Poynter and his crew of idlers, slackers and gossips.Matthew enjoys reading all manner of books - especially crime.
