D.G. Palmer

Desmond G. Palmer is a London-based author of archaeological and espionage thrillers.

His Acquirers series follows archaeologist Natasha Travers and former SAS Captain Lucas Redmond in globe-trotting adventures — from the hidden temples beneath Nineveh to the secrets of the Silk Road. Fast-paced, history-fuelled, and laced with danger, the Acquirers books have found readers across the UK, US, and beyond.

His new Ghost Operative series takes Lucas Redmond into darker territory. Paired with elite hacker Ellen Paige, Lucas operates in the shadows between official sanction and personal conscience — in a world where the threats are espionage, betrayal, and the personal cost of doing what governments won't.

Ghost Operative: Zero Hour — the first novel in the series — is available to preorder now. Ghost Hunt, the free lead-in novella, is available via his website.

A Film Studies graduate with a lifelong obsession with action cinema and ancient history, Desmond writes the kind of thrillers he always wanted to read.

Trained in the shadows. Always personal.
