Charlie is one of my favourite authors. We waited a long time for him to release this new series of books, but I think the wait was worth it. The Abigail Morton series is looking to be one of his best. This first book was bloody amazing, I loved it. He has a way of getting you hooked in, but not really giving you any clues as to who has committed the crime. If you like a good suspense thriller, then this is the book for you. I had never heard of a source handler, but you will know all about them and what they do within a closed office for the police force. Can they find the victim within six hours? You will have to read it to find out!
Charlie Gallagher has been writing for twenty years, most of that time as a hobby but with the dream of one day ‘doing it properly.’ Alongside this hobby, it was necessary to have a day job, which, for thirteen years, was as a serving U.K. police officer. This career in policing opened up a whole new world of experiences and opportunities, and he is now fortunate enough to be able to channel those experiences into stories on a full-time basis.
Whilst a police officer, Charlie worked as a response officer, a member of a specialist tactical team, a detective and in a regional counter terrorism unit.
His books are thrillers and, rather unsurprisingly, policing and crime are central to the stories.
Charlie lives on the south coast of the U.K with his wife and two daughters, a springer spaniel, a tortoise and a cat with a far higher number of Twitter followers.
Charlie is published by Joffe Books, Avon, Harper Collins.
