A. B. Patterson

A. B. Patterson is an Australian writer who knows first-hand about corruption, power, crime and sex. He was a Detective Sergeant in the WA Police, working in paedophilia and vice, and later a Chief Investigator with the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption.

His multiple award-winning, debut novel, "Harry’s World", introduced the jaded and flawed PI Harry Kenmare. "Harry’s Quest" was the sizzling, award-winning sequel in the PI Harry Kenmare series of novels. The explosive third novel, "Harry’s Grail", is now available.

His Harry Kenmare short stories, some previously published in the USA in Switchblade magazine, are now gathered together for the first time in "Harry Kenmare, PI - At Your Service".

His hard-boiled, gritty, and noir writing style has been likened to that of Raymond Chandler and Ken Bruen. He has been dubbed "The bad boy of Australian crime fiction". He's proud of the description and he makes no apologies for telling it how it is. C’est la vie.

Note: His non-fiction works are published under Andrew Patterson.
