About Lucky Number Seven: An Explosive British Crime Thriller (DCI Kett Crime Thrillers)

Sometimes You Win. Sometimes You Die. When seven packages are delivered to the staff of an insurance company in Norwich, the unthinkable happens: one of the packages explodes. Six people survive, the seventh does not. As the fire rages and the city reels, DCI Kett and the Extreme Crime Task Force are brought in to try to figure out why anybody would murder an innocent woman in such a violent manner. But the killer has only just started. Seven more people are targeted, seemingly at random, and it soon becomes clear that somebody is playing a deadly game of chance—if you lose, you lose everything. The hunt is on for one of the most sadistic criminals the team has ever faced. Sometimes you beat the odds. Sometimes you don’t. And Kett knows that sooner or later, everybody’s luck runs out… Lucky Number Seven is the thirteenth book in the million-selling DCI Robert Kett series. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and dark humour abound in the series that Thrilling Fiction calls "Heart-stoppingly gripping!" from the author that James Patterson describes as "fresh and ferocious!"

It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest books, the DCI Robert Kett thrillers, have monsters in it too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between these two books he has published fourteen other novels for children and teenagers under his full name, Alexander Gordon Smith—including the number one bestselling series Escape From Furnace, which is loved by millions of readers worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.
