Do you like your crime thrillers to have a forensic element that adds to the realism? Do you like your lead character to be someone intense and unafraid to take on authority?
Andrew writes precisely that kind of crime thriller, and has done since 1996, about the same time he became a CSI in Yorkshire.
He doesn't write formulaic fiction; each story is hand-crafted to give you a unique flavour of what CSIs encounter in real life - and as a practising CSI, he should know what it's like out there. His thrillers live inside the police domain, but predominantly feature CSIs (or SOCOs as they used to known).
Here's your chance to walk alongside SOCO Roger Conniston and CSI Eddie Collins as they do battle with the criminals that you lock your doors to keep out, fighting those whose crimes make you shudder.
This is as real as it gets without getting your hands bloody.

I know what it's like to be hunted.

I'm Eddie Collins, a CSI. One night, I was at a gruesome murder scene in the rain when I felt a cold stare on my back. I ignored it, thinking it was just my imagination. But it wasn't.

Someone left a death threat on my desk.

Someone who knew my darkest secrets and wanted me dead.

Someone who was closer than I ever imagined.

I had to find out who it was before it was too late. In the end, they found me.
