He began studying martial arts when he was eight years old, to get out of piano lessons. He's still at it, and he still can't play the piano.

He lives in the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire with his wife, Sue, his Parson Jack Russell terrier, Fudd, and his gravel bike.

CONCERN is his debut novel, and the beginning of a series featuring Marc Naedorf. ...more

Quotes by Christopher Bentley (?)

“Your quantum computing supremo sends up a flare and three days later he and your son are killed. We have no idea why, or by whom, and I have a strong suspicion the Bratva protection racket story is horse shit. However you and Socrates choose to define justice, you haven’t had it.”
― Christopher Bentley, Concern: A black-ops investigator uncovers an espionage conspiracy rooted in quantum code
