About the Authors

Mark Billingham started his career, 24 years ago, as the new young voice in crime fiction. He brought a fresh, edgy and terrifying twist to the genre and his lead character, Tom Thorne, was every bit as quirky and different as his creator. The intervening two decades have seen Billingham grow from a young maverick, pushing the boundaries and challenging the assumptions of crime writing by both the trade and the readers themselves, into the role of a statesman of the genre, supporting new writers and confronting his own social conscience through his work.
Abir Mukherjee is a British-Indian author best known for his crime novels, including the Wyndham and Banerjee series set in the British Raj era in India. Before beginning a career in writing, Abir was an accountant for 20 years, and it was his visit to the Telegraph's Harvill Secker Crime Writing Competition in 2013 that inspired his debut novel A Rising Man. A year he won revisited the competition and won, and published A Rising Man in 2016.
