I was born in Liverpool in 1964
and have been in magazines and publishing since 1989 and I am an accomplished feature writer.

My debut novel "Dead Charming" is set in Manchester and stems from my keen interest in psychology and crime. I want to analyse the experiences of both perpetrator and victim through their emotional and psychological turmoil with often terrifying results.
You can find it here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Charming...

My second novel "Deadly Determination" is a roller-coaster crime thrill ride set in Liverpool which is now available to download on your Kindle here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Deadly-Determ...
Paperback to follow shortly.

I have two children, Tom, 25 and Anna, 21 and live with my wife Susie a

message 9: by Tom

Tom Greer Hi, Ian, thanks for friending me on Goodreads. My new crime novel, Death Comes Calling, is now available from Kindle ebook and paperback form, so please feel free to take a look via the Amazon UK link at the bottom.

The Kindle price is £2.99 and the paperback price is £9.32.

A successful career woman is found dead on the floor of her North London kitchen with her throat brutally slashed. Beside the body lies a half-open razor with a single droplet of blood at the tip of an otherwise pristine blade.

However, the forensics prove this razor can’t be the murder weapon, and when another successful career woman is found murdered a few days later, again in her kitchen, again with her throat cut and again with a blood-tipped half-open razor placed beside her body, Detective Chief Inspector John Gore of the Metropolitan Police fears he has a potential serial killer on his hands.

As the body count rises the pressure is mounting on Gore to quickly find and stop the killer.

Meanwhile someone is sending him taunting notes, each headed, Death Comes Calling, and Gore begins to realise the killer is playing mind games not just with the police, but with him personally. The question is…why?

Thanks, Tom.
