For those of you who might be curious as to what I get up to as a lecturer in Creative Writing, here's a link to a video of me talking at the Digital Humanities Summer School at Oxford University a few weeks ago. http://maxkinnings.wordpress.com/2013... …
My new novel, Sacrifice, the second of a series that features blind hostage negotiator, Ed Mallory, is released by Quercus on November 7th in the UK. As a preview of the new book, you can read the first chapter via the link below. This is the first of three chapters that I’ll post prior to the release date.Whereas Baptism concerns itself with religious fundamentalists hijacking a London Tube train, Sacrifice tells of the Christmas Day kidnapping of the Poynter family in their central London mansion by persons, very much, unknown. A disgraced hedge fund manager, Graham Poynter has good reason to want to hide away from the media and those anonymous forces ranged against him. But try as hard as he may to keep himself and his family out of the spotlight, there are some people who will stop at nothing to make sure that he pays for his crimes in the most public and brutal way imaginable.
