My next true-crime book is Murder by the Sea Volume 1, a companion book featuring cases from the CBS Reality series of that name. This will be published in July 2022.

I am currently working on The Real Ted Hastings for Mardle Books. This is a look at Robert Mark as inspiration for Ted Hastings in Line of Duty, and how the hit drama reflects many contemporary corruption issues affecting the Met.

I’m also the author of true-crime book The Hunt for the 60s’ Ripper. This is a re-investigation of the case of a little-known serial killer in west London during the Swinging Sixties. For this I talked to several former detectives and profilers to explore what might have gone wrong in the original investigation, and why the killer escaped justice.

The book led to a BBC4 documentary, Dark Son: The Hunt for a Serial Killer. I was interviewed for that programme and have since been a regular contributor to TV series such as Murder by the Sea and other documentaries.

When it comes to fiction, I have contributed short stories to one or two anthologies, such as Action: Pulse Pounding Tales.
