Really pleased to say that Four Shots in the Night has been shortlisted for the True Crime Awards 2025 Book of the Year. The winner will be announced in early June. More on the awards here.

You may well be sorted for Christmas, in which case ignore the rest of this. But if you’re stuck on what to get for the book-lover in your life, I have hardback copies of Four Shots in the Night that I can sign and send out to you in time for the big day (if you live in the UK and you get in touch before Friday 20th December). Send me a message – email address on the ‘ABOUT’ section of the site – and we can work out the details. The cost is the price of the book – £22 – plus P&P, which comes to £26.

Wow. I’m enormously grateful to the judges at the HWA for awarding their Non-Fiction Crown 2024 to Four Shots in the Night. It’s a huge honour. I still can’t quite believe it’s happened. Great as well to meet everyone last night at the ceremony, especially my fellow shortlisted authors.

Obviously it depends on your paywall situation, but if you do have access to the New York Times website and/or the Wall Street Journal, here are links to two recent reviews of Four Shots in the Night: WSJ and NYT.
