Behind the characters - Adam Greene and Alex Albury in my thriller mysteries
Continuing my theme of looking behind the characters (see previous blog entry on DI Andy Horton, Art Marvik and Inspector Alun Ryga) here is what shapes my other two fictional sleuths in my standalone thriller mysteries IN COLD DAYLIGHT and IN FOR THE KILL.


Before Alex can fully understand what has happened he finds himself convicted for fraud and embezzlement and serving a prison sentence. His life, as it was, crumbles. On his release from prison he sets out to discover who has ruined his life and why. He has nothing left to lose. He's set on revenge with a pathological aversion to using any form of modern technology for fear the perpetrator will strike again.
With his life and reputation destroyed he no longer cares what happens to him. His goal is to kill. But when it comes to it can he do it? Will he become the criminal that he is supposed to be or do his original values reassert themselves?
The characters in my novels are very real to me and if they're real to the writer then they will be real to the reader.
