About the author

I've been writing and illustrating children's fiction for almost thirty years under the name 'Martin Chatterton' ('Ed' is my middle name). In the past couple of years I have been mutating into a crime writer. My debut adult crime novel, 'A Dark Place To Die' was released by Random House in Australia in August 2012. It is published in the UK on September the 27th. The sequel has been completed (to first draft) and will be out in 2013.

I lived in the UK until 1998 and then spent some years shuffling between the US and UK before moving there in 2001. I moved to Australia in 2004 where I have been ever since.

Actually Loved this book as a kid. I remember it being one of the first I brought from the school bookfair in their 2 books for a £1 deal. I have to say it definitely doesn't sit the same as you get older, but if you have young sons or tomboy daughters, they'd absolutely love this.

Adventure action series clearly marketed to boys of four lads who live in boring place and decided to do crazy stunts to break word records. Some amusement but pretty forced and forgettable.
