About the authors
Tony Kent is a thriller writer who also happens to be a top criminal barrister and a former heavyweight boxing champion, and he draws on that unique legal and physical experience to bring a striking authenticity to the fast-paced, high-octane and action packed books. The Shadow Network is the fifth book in the with barrister Michael Devlin and Agent Joe Dempsey who team up once again to take down an enemy when no one believes they exist.
Fiona Neill is an author and journalist who has written five Sunday Times bestsellers. She worked as a foreign correspondent in Central America for six years and returned to the UK as assistant editor on Marie Claire before joining The Times Magazine as assistant editor. Fiona grew up on a farm in an isolated village in North Norfolk, where she still spends as much time as possible. The Haven is a taut and propulsive story of a family in crisis, a shattering of innocence, and a savage fight for survival.
Imran Mahmood is a practising barrister with almost 30 years' experience fighting cases in court. He hails from Liverpool but now lives in London with his wife and daughters. His debut novel You Don't Know Me was chosen by Simon Mayo as a BBC Radio 2 Book Club Choice and longlisted for Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year and for the CWA Gold Dagger, and has now been adapted into a four part drama series for the BBC. He is also the author of I Know What I Saw. Finding Sophie is a heart-stopping thriller, a heartfelt mystery of a daughter gone missing and the frantic parents desperate to find her.
Abir Mukherjee is the bestselling author of the Sam Wyndham series of crime novels set in Raj era India. His debut, A Rising Man, won the CWA Endeavour Dagger for best historical crime novel of 2017 and was shortlisted for the MWA Edgar for best novel. His second novel, A Necessary Evil, won the Wilbur Smith Award for Adventure Writing and was a Zoe Ball Book Club pick. His third novel, Smoke and Ashes, was chosen by the Sunday Times as one of the 100 Best Crime & Thriller Novels since 1945. Abir grew up in Scotland and now lives in London with his wife and two sons. Hunted is a riveting standalone thriller that finds two devastated parents in a race against time to track down their children, who are suspected of terrorist atrocities.
Harriet Tyce grew up in Edinburgh and studied English at Oxford University before doing a law conversion course at City University. She practised as a criminal barrister in London for nearly a decade, and subsequently completed an MA in Creative Writing – Crime Fiction at the University of East Anglia. Her first novel, Blood Orange, published in 2019 to huge critical acclaim and her second and third novels The Lies You Told and It Ends at Midnight have both been Sunday Times bestsellers. Her fourth novel, A Lesson in Cruelty, is a ‘deliciously sinister tale of revenge and redemption, with heart-in-mouth tension and head-spinning twists’.
