Alex Volchak is a great protagonist, world weary, lonely and bereaved, keen to see justice done but happy to bend the rules when it suits the common good and he’s blessed with an amusingly deadpan film noir style voice. He began his TV career as a writer on two seasons of Doctor Who, and wrote two novelizations of his stories under the pseudonym John Lydecker.įirst published in 1987, this is a winning combination of crime and horror, perhaps the perfect companion piece to the equally assured “Falling Angel”. Recent screen credits include an award-winning Silent Witness and Stan Lee's Lucky Man. In the US he was lead writer on NBC's Crusoe, creator of CBS Television's Eleventh Hour, and Co-Executive Producer on ABC's The Forgotten. In his native England he's adapted and created hour-long and feature-length thrillers and crime dramas. He's the creator of Sebastian Becker, Special Investigator to the Lord Chancellor's Visitor in Lunacy, in a series of novels that includes The Kingdom of Bones, The Bedlam Detective, and The Authentic William James. His fifteen novels include Chimera, Oktober, Valley of Lights and Nightmare, with Angel. Stoker and World Fantasy Award nominee, winner of British Fantasy and International Horror Guild Awards for his short fiction, Stephen Gallagher has a career both as a novelist and as a creator of primetime miniseries and episodic television.
