Mike Thomas was born in Wales in 1971. For more than two decades he served in the police, working some of Cardiff's busiest neighbourhoods. He left the force in 2015 to write full time. Mike has previously had two novels published and was longlisted for the Wales Book of the Year and was on the list of Waterstones 'New Voices'. His second novel, Ugly Bus, is currently in development for a six part series with the BBC. He lives in the wilds of Portugal with his wife, children and a senile dog who enjoys eating furniture.
"This one had more grit in it than a sandwich eaten on a windy day in Cardiff Bay . . . every beat of the police in the novel for the authenticity really stands out. I like this new addition to the Welsh literary landscape!" —Book Trail “Thomas . . . successfully portrays the gritty side of detective work.” —Publishers Weekly
"Mike Thomas brings the world of the police to authentic—and often—shocking life . . . his first in what promises to be a fascinating series . . . the best crime/police thriller I have read for many years. It is a tribute to Thomas' skills that it is not until well into the story that the pieces start to fall into place. It's everything you want in a thriller . . . brilliantly observed, sharply written and superbly realistic story." —Crime Review
“A gritty procedural for fans of Stuart MacBride and Simon Kernick.” —Booklist Online
