I'm a Sunday Times and international bestselling author and screenwriter. I write topical, thought-provoking novels that aim to entertain, and I love lived research, so the events in my books are often inspired by real events. Before I became a professional writer I was a strategy consultant and advised global businesses in a variety of sectors. I co-founded Capital Crime and am now on the advisory board. I'm also on the board of ITW. I enjoy rock climbing, skiing, sailing and competitive shooting. I live in Mauritius with my wife and our three children. ​
