About Tin Soldiers: An Explosive British Crime Thriller (DCI Kett Crime Thrillers)

War is coming... It has been months since DCI Robert Kett’s world was almost shattered by the murderous syndicate known as Hollenbeck, and he’s still picking up the pieces. What he wants now is a slow return to the job, and a handful of easy cases. What he gets, though, is a dead woman in a park, her eyes replaced with molten tin. And this body is only the first. As Norwich burns in an unseasonably hot spring, a series of brutal attacks leaves the Extreme Crime Task Force reeling. With a vicious serial killer targeting random victims, a ruthless gang terrorising the streets, and a city close to self-destruct, Kett knows only one thing for sure. This time, he’s at war. The nineteenth instalment in the million-selling DCI Kett series. Relentless action, compulsive mystery and side-splitting humour abound in the books 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 and DI Harrison Baird thrillers, have monsters in them too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it. In between, he has published fourteen 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.
