David considers himself a latecomer in the literary field, not having started writing seriously until into his fifties. With no formal training and having had no interest in English at school, an institution that saw him leave at the age of sixteen with not one qualification to his name, his first novice attempt was back in the early 90’s when he put to paper his recent solo undertaking of the Pennine Way, Britain’s most arduous long distance path along the backbone of England. It was rejected by the one and only publisher he sent it to and so was resigned to the back of his draw as something to bore his grandchildren with in later years.
It wasn’t until 2010 that, spurred on by an article his wife read while on holiday about self-publishing, his foray into the world of writing reared its head again. This time it was a collection of memoirs and anecdotes about holidays spent in a small bay in Corfu over a period of ten years or so, the success of which whetted his appetite to attempt something serious. Thus, three years later, his incursion into the world of crime thrillers was born, gleaning immediate critical acclaim from both the UK and the US and his future as a writer assured.
David was born in London but spent most of his life in Harlow, Essex. He now lives in Hertfordshire with his second wife, Julie.
DEATH COMES FOR MANY VICTIMS.
THOSE THAT DIE ARE THE LUCKY ONES.
When a series of sadistic murders begin to haunt the once quiet town of Worthybridge, DCI William ‘Billy’ Thompson and DS Lee Shupe, find themselves chasing a ghost. No forensics. No witnesses. No evidence. Nothing. Nothing except a growing list of bodies.
It bears all the hallmarks of a trained killer. But why would a trained killer be murdering innocent people in a town like Worthybridge?
All they have to go on is a cryptic message left at the scene. A clue to the killer’s identity – or a fool’s errand? Moreover, why are some victims granted mercy? What sick game is the killer playing?
With increasing pressure from the community, the press, and the case taking its toll on his family, DCI Thompson decides to step down from the investigation. But the killer has other ideas.
Billy’s world is thrown into confusion when the killer’s identity is finally revealed, but nothing has prepared him for what is to follow.
In a final, deadly confrontation, Billy is forced to battle his own demons – demons he thought he’d never have to face again.
In life, as in sport – winning is everything.
