Manchester crime writer, Col Bury’s new thriller, My Kind of Justice is published this week by Caffeine Nights Publishing.
The book has the edge of authenticity as Col has a wide range of police contacts and drew heavily on them for his debut novel.
Col launches his novel on Thursday 18th June at Urmston Library in an event run with Urmston Bookshop. Col will be interviewed by best-selling crime author of the Joe Hunter series of books, Matt Hilton.
There will be a Q&A session and Col will also be giving a reading from My Kind of Justice. The evening has a 7 for 7:30 start and is expected to be sold out.
Before writing My Kind of Justice, Col cut his teeth in the world of crime writing by learning the trade as the former Crime Editor of webzine, Thrillers, Killers ‘n’ Chillers, for which he was voted ‘Online Fiction Editor of the Year’ in a 2010 readers’ poll. His short stories have gained interest from agents and have won online competitions. His fiction has featured in many anthologies, most notably, TheMammoth Books of Best of British Crime 9, 10 & 11.
Col is also the author of two popular short stories collections, Manchester 6 and The Cops of Manchester.Col’s flawed and unusual Detective Inspector, Jack Striker, will again feature in the sequel, which Col is currently working on, as well as a separate new crime novel series and a comedy book, which offers respite from the sobriety of crime.
Col has been developing the craft of writing, spasmodically, for twenty-five years and readers have commented that with Col having worked with violent offenders for many years, it adds authenticity to his fiction.
Col lives with his wife and two children in Manchester, UK, where he reads a lot, enjoys action movies, shoots pool and watches his beloved Manchester City FC.
My Kind of Justice is published in paperback and eBook by Caffeine Nights Publishing on Thursday 18th June and will be available from all good book shops.
