  37. About the Author

I also knew that my hero would be radically different from anything I’d done before: an elite soldier with a talent for fighting mobsters. He would need a background in law enforcement before joining the army, with an insider’s knowledge of how criminals think. He would have grown up in a rough part of London, a world where violence and gangs are rife and only a lucky few escape – a world he can never quite leave behind. But that wasn’t enough, I knew. The character also needed a powerful personal motivation for wanting to take revenge on the criminal elite, so I gave him a tragic family backstory. This incident would only be revealed slowly, through the prism of the hero’s ongoing struggle with addiction. All that was left was to create a new covert SAS unit to combat this new threat. The Cell was born, and the idea snowballed from there.

Writing Manhunter has been a genuine pleasure. I’ve had great fun spending time with Josh Bowman, John Mallet and the other members of the Cell, and I hope you’ve had as much fun reading about them. Hopefully, this is the first of many adventures to come.
