The story behind Art Marvik in the mystery thriller series
I like heroes, and, as I’m a sucker for adventure stories and mystery, there was no doubt that this was what the Art Marvik mystery thriller series had to be.
I wanted a lead character who was not bound by the official rules of the law, as is my DI Andy Horton in the Solent Murder Mystery series - although Andy is a renegade detective and often goes out on a limb to solve a case. And neither did I want a thoughtful, sensitive character like my 1950s Inspector Ryga.
I wanted an action-man, fit, but flawed, and the Marvik mystery thrillers had to have the hallmark of my brand – a troubled hero, the sea, boats, interesting and diverse characters and lots of action.
Marvik’s not sure what lies ahead for him, but when his former marine comrade, Shaun Strathen, enlists his help to find a missing computer scientist, and a former girlfriend of Marvik’s goes missing after visiting him in his remote Isle of Wight cottage, Marvik find his himself sucked into a dangerous mission.
"A likable, smart, tough, but all too human hero, make this a cracking-good new series—action fans need Marvik on their radar." Booklist
