A.B. Patterson
A.B. Patterson was a Detective Sergeant in the Western Australia Police, working in paedophilia and vice, and later a Chief Investigator with the New South Wales Independent Commission Against Corruption.
His multiple award-winning, debut novel, Harry’s World, introduced the jaded and flawed PI Harry Kenmare. Harry’s Quest was the sizzling, award-winning sequel in the PI Harry Kenmare series of novels. The explosive third novel, Harry’s Grail, is now available.
His Harry Kenmare short stories, some previously published in the USA in Switchblade magazine, were gathered together for the first time in Harry Kenmare, PI – At Your Service.
He has other short stories, all dark and mostly crime, published elsewhere.
His hard-boiled, gritty, and noir writing style has been likened to that of Raymond Chandler and Ken Bruen.
He has been nicknamed “The bad boy of Australian crime fiction”.
