Deze auteur duikt in de donkerdere hoeken van de menselijke psychologie en maatschappelijk verraad door middel van meeslepende misdaadfictie. Met een meesterlijk gevoel voor spanning en ingewikkelde karakterontwikkeling trekt hij lezers mee naar werelden waar de waarheid verborgen ligt onder de oppervlakte en het kwaad op onverwachte plaatsen loert. Overstappend op historische verhalen, brengt de auteur rigoureus detail en nauwkeurigheid in om echte gebeurtenissen te vertellen en minder bekende verhalen over moed en conflict te ontdekken. Zijn werken getuigen van menselijke veerkracht en het onophoudelijke streven naar gerechtigheid, zowel in het heden als in turbulente vroegere tijdperken.
