Best selling author of The Scottish Murder Book, ERASED, and The Nearly Man.
📚 And look what's just arrived!
The very first batch of The River Runs Red: New Edition 😊
Copies will be winging their way to eager bookshops and online retailers shortly too. Get your order in now!
Qué? One unintended offshoot of my research is that I am now (apparently) the leading expert on the crimes of one particularly loathsome individual who features in my next book.
As a result, I am now helping The University of Castilla–La Mancha in Spain with a research project on 60s crime. De nada

📕 I see that some joker is selling secondhand copies of the first edition of The River Runs Red on ebay, for more than the new expanded second edition costs
Don't waste your money folks, order yourself the brand new expanded, extended, and updated edition now (in either ebook or paperback).

After the irony of Labour's Homelessness Minister yesterday, this caught my eye

My investigation into Jersey's only unsolved murder took a dark turn yesterday with the arrival of some anonymous material in the post, including old newspapers, a detailed account of a possible suspect's movements in January 1967, and a list of names coupled with some suspicious car reg numbers.

🔍 Two more significant leads have come my way as I continue my investigation into Jersey's only unsolved murder.
I'll be talking all about Tuula's murder at this year's Jersey Festival of Words in September
Don't forget, as a special bonus, I'll also be appearing in an another event at the festival
From one of the top 5 albums of all time imo. The fantastic jazz fusion combo Working Week. The best kept secret of the 1980s. I can still remember seeing them on a hot summer's night in London in 1985

Had a chat with ITV News today. We'll be doing a news piece next month to update viewers on my investigation following my interview in March
Here's the 1st piece www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1in...
✍️ If the opening line of your MS is about the weather, the chances are, your publisher, agent, or editor will throw it away.
I think hard about the 1st line of my books, it's vital. My last book Nothing For Something opens with "This story begins with a mystery and ends with a riddle.", which I love
📕 Stock of my new book, The River Runs Red, will be winging it's way to shops over the next week
If you're REALLY impatient, the ebook will be available for instant download from 8am on Thurs. Pre-order now & it will be delivered to your device on Thursday👇

The research I've undertaken for my upcoming book on Jersey's only unsolved murder has taken me down all sorts of paths - including going outside in the dark and rain to test how easy it is to recognise different colours....
All will be revealed when the story of Tuula hits bookshelves next year.
📕 🏏 So I can afford some physiotherapy for my aching bones following this weekend's cricket heroics, why not pre-order yourself a copy of my new book, The River Runs Red: New Edition
EBOOK VERSION - www.amazon.co.uk/River-Runs-R...
PAPERBACK - www.amazon.co.uk/River-Runs-R...
Needs to be taken with a pinch of salt (path) obviously . . . 😉

UPDATE
3 people have called me with leads. 2 maybe connected to both Tuula's murder & the unsolved 1977 attack
One witness called the 77 photofit an "extraordinary likeness", they also thought that the AI image of the older man was less so

📕Have you read The Scottish Murder Book yet?

🏏What a stunning victory yesterday! We chased down 222 in 25 overs.
I was quite happy to shoulder arms and let this one sail harmlessly past the leg stump, while Indika and Duminda smashed sixes onto the golf course from the other end. Cricket's much easier from the non-striking end! 😂
