About the author

Simon Kernick (born February 1967 in Slough, Berkshire) is a British thriller/crime writer now living in Oxfordshire with his two daughters. Kernick attended Gillotts School, a comprehensive in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Whilst he was a student his jobs included fruit-picker and Christmas-tree uprooter. He graduated from Brighton Polytechnic in 1991 with a degree in humanities.

Kernick had a passion for crime fiction writing from a young age and produced many short stories during his time at polytechnic. After graduating Kernick joined MMT Computing in London in early 1992, where a relative was the Chairman and Managing Director. He left the company after four years in the hope of trying to secure a publishing deal. Despite interest from a number of publishers Kernick was unable to secure a deal, so he joined the sales force of the specialist IT and Business Consultancy Metaskil plc in Aldermaston, Berkshire in 1998 where he remained until he secured his first book deal The Business of Dying in September 2001.

His novel Relentless was recommended on Richard & Judy's Summer book club 2007. It was the 8th best-selling paperback, and the best-selling thriller in the UK in the same year.

Dø alene

Alastair Sheridan har det hele. Penge, et godt udseende, en smuk kone og børn og, i Storbritanniens kaotiske, politiske verden, en reel chance for at blive premierminister. Men Alastair har også en hemmelighed. Han er seriemorder med smag for unge kvinder. Kun en lille håndfuld mennesker ved, hvilket monster han er, og den vanærede kriminalassistent Ray Mason er en af dem. Ray afventer at komme for retten for mord, men får uventet en ny chance. Hagen ved det er, at for at få denne chance for et nyt liv og en ny identitet skal han udføre en opgave, der vil betyde døden for ham, hvis den mislykkes. Ray har en mistanke om, at ikke alt er, hvad det giver sig ud for, men påtager sig alligevel opgaven for måske at kunne få ram på Sheridan. Den eneste, Ray stoler på, er forhenværende politibetjent og hans tidligere elskerinde Tina Boyd, som er ivrig efter at gøre sit eget regnskab op med Sheridan. Med fjender på begge sider er kun én ting sikker: Ingen ønsker, at de slipper ud i live. „SIMON KERNICK ER EN AF DE MEST PÅLIDELIGE LEVERANDØRER AF PÅ-KANTEN-AF-STOLEN-THRILLERE … ET ADRENALINSUS, DER OVERGÅR DEN KRAFTIGSTE HJERTEMEDICIN.“ – SUNDAY EXPRESS „SIMON KERNICK FORMÅR AT GØRE HISTORIEN BEDRE GENNEM FRISKE FORANDRINGER OG AFSLØRINGER TIL RETTE TID … HAN ER STADIG EN AF DE MEST KONSEKVENT SPÆNDENDE OG OPFINDSOMME FORFATTERE PÅ SIT FELT.“ – FINANCIAL TIMES „SIMON KERNICK ER ADRENALINKICKETS UBESTRIDTE MESTER.“ – PETER JAMES „EN THRILLER I HØJT TEMPO, HVOR DØDSTALLET STIGER I TAKT MED SPÆNDINGSNIVEAUET.“ – SUNDAY MIRROR „THRILLER-MESTER SIMON KERNICKS BØGER KAN LÆSES UAFHÆNGIGT AF SERIEN OG ER ALTID VÆRD AT SAMLE OP.
