The research for Simon Kernick's novels is what makes them so authentic. His extensive list of contacts in the police force has been built up over more than a decade. It includes long serving officers in Special Branch, the National Crime Squad (now SOCA), and the Anti-Terrorist Branch, all of whom have plenty of tales to tell.
He is in his thirties, lives near London and has two young children.
'From the moment I open my eyes, I know it's going to be a bad day. The room's stifling hot; my head feels like a dwarf on speed's dancing a jig on it, and the blood ... Well, the blood's everywhere.
It feels as if I've stepped into the middle of someone else's nightmare.
But I'm wrong. This is my nightmare. And it's only just beginning.'
'Simon Kernick writes with his foot pressed hard on the pedal. Hang on tight!'
Harlan Coben
'Great plots, great characters, great action. Simon Kernick might just be the best of Britain's new-wave crime writers.' Lee Child

Ex-soldier Sean Tyler wakes up in an unfamiliar room next to the headless corpse of a girl he's met recently.
