"After 30 years of fighting crime I've jumped ship and started writing crime. It's true what they say, "It reads better than it lives." Could be worse, I could have become a defence attorney. Bottom line, I just like to tell a good story. So, sit back and enjoy crime fiction the way it should be told. Gritty, witty, and hard as a kick in the ****s."
Ex-policeman. Ex-soldier. International tennis player. And full-time crime writer. Author of fourteen novels and a novella Colin Campbell is a retired police officer in West Yorkshire, having tackled crime in one of the UK’s busiest cities for 30 years.
With five novels published in the UK, and one (Blue Knight, White Cross) due out in the US, he counts Lee Child, Reginald Hill, Caroline Carver, and Stephen Booth among his fans.
