edit data

There is a familiar shadow at the edge of Mark Thompson-O’Connor’s fiction: a quiet street that turns dangerous, a respectable life disturbed by buried secrets, a murder that refuses to stay solved.
His books explore the territories of crime, suspense and thriller writing where ordinary people collide with organised crime, political cover-up and mystery and intrigue that spreads like blood in water.
Each story moves at pace, with escalating danger and stakes: detectives uncovering the link between murders, journalists uncovering truths that were meant to remain hidden and everyday people thrust into the violent unknown.

New Release Coming

August will see the release of a new book, new character and new storyline!
A thriller/mystery detective story called "A Drop in the Ocean" will be my next release.
It is set in South Shields in the northeast of England and I'm so excited about first releasing it to my Reader Club at the usual discounted price, and then releasing both the ebook and paperback more widely.
