ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In over twenty years as an author, Mark Timlin has written some thirty novels under many different names, including best selling books as Lee Martin, innumerable short stories, an anthology and numerous articles on diverse subjects for various newspapers and magazines.

He has made a few friends, many enemies, of whom he is most proud, and drank a good few bars dry. His serial hero, Nick Sharman, who appears in Stay Another Day, has featured in a Carlton TV series, starring Clive Owen, before he went on to become a Hollywood superstar.

Mark lives in a Docklands penthouse with a panoramic view across the River Thames of his beloved south London. He drives a massive Lincoln Town car, collects old vinyl, crime novels, music magazines, while watching far too much daytime TV and DVD box sets.

He is currently working on Gangsters Widows, the new Lee Martin novel and Bad Guys, Spies & PI's: 101 Best TV Crime Shows

ABOUT THE BOOK

In this shamelessly personal view of the 101 Best TV Crime Series, Mark Timlin has taken the straightforward approach of including any crime show that he's enjoyed since he was small.

Fortunately, given his great age, that encompasses an enormous range of shows, from the good, to the bad, to the plain bizarre. Classics range from Z-Cars, to Hill Street Blues, The Professionals, The Bill and Callan, but Mark also includes 77 Sunset Strip, Highway Patrol and Johnny Staccato from the late 50s, the Birmingham-based Gangsters from the mid-70s and the more recent 55 Degrees North – and of course lots more.

Packed with information and curious facts, there is nostalgia aplenty, sharp opinions and probably much to disagree with and dispute – and of course, that's the point – amuse your friends, irritate your enemies and enter into the debate – this book is the perfect jumping off point for sorting out your own personal Top Ten.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

'It is possible that South London contains some law abiding citizens in conventional relationships but they make no appearance in Timlin's immoral, wildly enjoyable books '
- The Times

'Full of cars, girls, guns, strung out along the high sierras of Brixton and Battersea, the Elephant and the North Peckham Estate, all those jewels in the crown they call Sarf London '
