About Simon Kernick:
Simon Kernick arrived on the scene with his highly acclaimed debut novel The Business of Dying, and his breakthrough came with Relentless, which became the best-selling thriller of 2007 and established him as one of Britain’s most exciting thriller writers. Simon’s research is what makes his thrillers so authentic. He talks both on and off the record to members of Special Branch, the Anti-Terrorist Branch and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, so he gets to hear firsthand what actually happens in the dark and murky underbelly of UK crime.
