About the author
Born in 1957, this British crime novelist studied English at Oxford and later settled in Portugal. His fiction is closely tied to the places he has lived in or explored, which helps give his stories their vivid settings and grounded feel.
He is the author of the Bruce Medway novels set in West Africa and the Javier Falcón series set largely in Seville. He has also written stand-alone thrillers and historical suspense, including A Small Death in Lisbon, which won the Crime Writers' Association Gold Dagger.
Across his work, readers often find carefully built plots, morally complex characters, and a deep interest in how politics, history, and culture shape crime. That mix of literary texture and page-turning tension has made his novels popular with mystery readers around the world.
