MIGRANT CRISIS
My intention is to write novels built around compelling characters, gripping suspense and themes with real-world significance. I want my stories to do more than entertain. I want them to invite readers to question, reflect and perhaps see the world from a different perspective, whilst sharing the experiences and emotions of the characters.
The migrant crisis was an obvious theme for my first novel. It affects us all in different ways and almost everyone has an opinion about it.
By keeping the story close to real events, I hoped to make the fiction more compelling. It has been fascinating and occasionally unsettling to see several scenarios explored in Migrant Crisis subsequently begin to play out in real life.
Above all, I hope the novel broadens perspectives, whatever a reader’s starting point, whilst never losing sight of its first duty as a thriller: to keep them turning the pages.

A government under pressure. A covert operation hidden from public view. Criminal networks exploiting human desperation. And decisions whose consequences reach far beyond Westminster.
These are some of the people, conflicts and choices at the heart of Migrant Crisis.
