Produktbeschreibung

The Russian billionaire seemed likeable enough, but appearances can be deceptive.

Steven Palmer works for a niche consultancy specialising in working in places others avoid. A Russian oligarch interested in working with a high-tech British manufacturer leads Palmer to Siberia and then a chance encounter in a Moscow nightclub. Palmer's unexpected friendship with the Russian billionaire drags him into a deeper conspiracy.

Spending more and more time away from home than at home, Palmer is thrust into a world far more threatening than the obscure places he helps his clients navigate. Why is the lead detective so interested in a colleague's suicide? When he finds a mysterious bag of cash and unexplained bank accounts in his name, he is suddenly in the sights of the Russian mafia and a conspiracy involving drug smuggling and gun runners, and he wants no part of it.

Steven soon realises his Russian friend is nothing like as harmless as he appeared, and it becomes apparent his interest in working with the British company has more sinister motives. To survive, Palmer must figure out who he can trust, navigate the conspiracy he has stumbled into, and hope to avoid becoming collateral damage.

Autorenporträt

I was born in the Midlands in the UK, and now live in south London with my partner. I studied physics at university, and I have a strong interest in maths and science, and now work in the IT industry. Always been an avid reader, but as I got a bit older, this turned into an interest in writing, from little stories as a kid, to eventually getting to a point where I started to write in my spare time after work.

After lots of false starts, I am now in possession of a vast backlog of research from broad plot ideas to a paragraph that might make an interesting addition to a plot, to a sentence to add colour and depth to a story. My research spans genres and settings modern thriller, historical fiction and sci-fi, and I usually have several projects on the go.

My first novel, The Careless Fraudster, is a modern thriller.

My second, Atomic Secrets was published by Sea Lion Press. This alternate history novel introduces David Brook, an operative for British intelligence working in the aftermath of an alternate end to World War 2.
