Mark Dawson was born in Lowestoft and grew up in Manchester and Chicago. He has worked as a lawyer and currently works in the London film industry. His first books, "The Art of Falling Apart" and "Subpoena Colada" have been published in multiple languages.

He is currently writing two series. Soho Noir is set in the West End of London between 1940 and 1970. The first book in the series, "The Black Mile", deals with the (real life but little known) serial killer who operated in the area during the Blitz. "The Imposter" traces the journey of a criminal family (think The Sopranos in austerity London and you'd be on the right track).

The John Milton series features a disgruntled special agent who aims to help people to make amends for the terrible things that he has done. Mark, as a child of the 80s, will freely admit that he watched a lot of The Equalizer in his youth.

Mark lives in Wiltshire with his family.

Read it in 2 sittings. I have to say I've read all Mark Dawsons books. He is an absolute genius when it comes to writing extraordinary stories. If a book doesn't grab my attention on the first page I give it up.

Not so with Mark Dawsons story telling. Absolutely brilliant. I can't wait for the next one.

Coming home

Wow here’s another brilliant short story from Mark Dawson in which Charlie Cooper once again gets to carry out his favourite (sarcasm intended) group pastime “babysitting” but as is the case with these babysitting jobs nothing ever so straightforward. Happy reading.

I do enjoy Charlie Cooper stories. Some more than others, like this one. The characters were appealing, even the minor ones.
