Creator of fiction that gives you all the feels. Joffe Books Prize finalist 24. ONE GOOD REASON, the first in my brand new detective series featuring DS Chris Ashcroft, was published by Bloodhound Books in June. SMALL ACTS OF MERCY, my debut women's fiction novel with a dark edge, is to be published March 26. I worked for a housing association supporting ex-offenders into work which provided me with a lot of inspiration for my writing. Featured in the Sunday Mail and on BBC Radio Scotland, Talk Radio Europe and a number of other news and media outlets, my novels have regularly been in the top ten Hardboiled chart and I am a recipient of the Amazon All-Star bonus for being one of their most read authors in the UK. If you like hard-boiled crime fiction my books are for you. If you want your crime cozy, keep walking... LAST SEEN - This is the tenth book in the DS Coupland series. When a local woman is reported missing, DCI Mallender sees it as the perfect investigation to ease Coupland back into the squad after a period of absence. After all, there’s nothing more straightforward than a missing person case. If only the person who was missing would play ball. BLOOD SWEAT AND FEARS - This is the ninth book in the DS Coupland series. Coupland comes face to face with his nemesis, the Dutchman, in a way that will have far reaching repercussions. MADE TO BE BROKEN - Coupland puts his career on the line to help a victim of domestic violence. WHEN DARKNESS FALLS - The body of a teenager is found two days after being reported missing. Similar unsolved murders lead Coupland into a world far darker than he though was possible. STICKS AND STONES - Fighting to hold onto his career, Coupland enlists the help of the one man everyone is certain has set him up. At the same time, Coupland suspects several cases that have occurred in recent weeks are linked. He must act fast to stop the unthinkable happening - even if that means putting himself in the firing line. FLESH AND BLOOD - A fire in a residential home has repercussions that Coupland could never have anticipated, especially with a Professional Standards hearing looming over him... ABSENT - A child's body is found in a sports bag, setting in motion a chain of events, the repercussions of which Coupland could never have expected whilst at the same time coming to terms with a shocking situation in his personal life. ONE BAD TURN - No sooner has Detective Sergeant Kevin Coupland stepped off the plane from a family holiday than he gets the call that a woman’s body has been found on a path beside a recreation park in a smart suburb in Salford. Account Manager Sharon Mathers suffered a brutal blow to the head following a night out with friends from work. As the body count rises Coupland makes a startling discovery - the killings are linked to a murder in ’92. Coupland was a probationer back in the nineties - could he be linked in some way to the killer? A PLACE OF SAFETY opens with a drive-by shooting that leaves a witness in fear for her life. DS Coupland and Moreton return to investigate what looks like a turf war gone wrong when a local gang does everything it can to cover the killer's tracks. Why is a young woman who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time such a threat to them? Or as Coupland suspects, is there more to their guilt than meets the eye? FRAGILE CORD is the first in my Salford Detective series, introducing readers to overworked and under appreciated Detective Sergeant Kevin Coupland as he investigates the murder-suicide of a mother and her son. My Edinburgh crime series featuring Davy Johnson: THE SILENCE BEFORE THE SCREAM When the daughter of Edinburgh’s most powerful crime lord is kidnapped all hell breaks loose in the city. Determined to find her without the hindrance of the police Gus McEwan summons his most reliable men to track her down. Davy Johnson, still reeling from witnessing an horrific suicide is in no position to refuse. As the violence escalates but no ransom note emerges Davy must convince Edinburgh’s most fearsome gangsters that this isn’t about money or power, but something far more primitive. TRUTH LIES WAITING, the first in my Scottish crime fiction series introduces anti-hero Davy Johnson as his life is thrown into turmoil when a killer strikes in Edinburgh's underbelly - framing him in the process. Most evenings I can be found walking our Jack Russell pups on the beach near our home in East Lothian, Scotland.
