Keep your friends close. . . . . . and your enemies buried. They say that behind every great fortune lies an even greater crime. And nowhere was that truer than Russia in the late 1980's. But now the past is about to catch up with one of the world's wealthiest men, and it seems like nothing will save him, or those he loves the most. The latest thriller featuring military veterans turned troubleshooters-for-hire Ryan Lock and Ty Johnson. This time they are in New York City, guarding the family of a Russian oligarch whose family is being targeted by shadowy forces that stretch all the way back to the Kremlin.
Author
I write the Ryan Lock series of thrillers, which feature ex-military bodyguard Ryan Lock and his partner, former Marine, Ty Johnson. The first two books in the series, Lockdown and Deadlock, hit the Official UK Top 50 Bestseller Chart, and the third, Gridlock, has just been released in hardback. They have have also been translated into Dutch, German, and Russian. I'm a firm believer in hands-on research, also known as 'any excuse to get out of the house', so before I wrote Lockdown, I trained for a month with former members of the Royal Military Police's specialist close protection unit. That turned out to be great preparation for Deadlock, which I researched by spending time inside Pelican Bay Supermax in California (see the TV interview on my author page). I recently completed a desert survival course in Arizona and ventured into the tunnels under Las Vegas, all as preparation for a new standalone thriller I will begin work on once I have completed the fourth Ryan Lock book. Before I became a full-time novelist, I taught college and wrote television drama. I'm an Oxbridge and Ivy League graduate – try not to hold that against me.
