Mark Grenside, born and raised in London, is a thriller writer known for twist-driven novels set in the high-stakes world of film and television. His Marcus Riley series begins with Fall Out, inspired by a true scandal of multi-billion-dollar theft and murder, and continues with The Bastion and Sunset Circus. Each book blends insider industry knowledge and meticulous research with fast-paced suspense.

He went on to produce movies and mini-series for global audiences and helped raise a quarter of a billion dollars to acquire the international rights to the Hallmark Channel, which was later sold to NBC.
