John Sweeney is an award-winning writer and broadcaster. As a reporter, first for the Observer and then for the BBC, Sweeney has covered wars and chaos in more than eighty countries and has been undercover to Chechnya, North Korea, and Zimbabwe. He has also helped free seven people falsely convicted of killing their babies in landmark legal trials in the UK. Sweeney became a YouTube sensation in 2007 for losing his temper with a senior member of the Church of Scientology. His first novel, Elephant Moon, was published to much acclaim in 2012. His hobby is falling off his bike on the way back from the pub.
“Brutally realistic...[Tiplady is] a fresh hero for our
times...There are echoes of other loner heroes, including, of
course, Jack Reacher, but Tiplady is perhaps a little more nuanced,
and a touch more compassionate.” —The Daily Mail
“Rarely is a book so engrossing and pacy that it makes me miss my
train stop...The action shifts effortlessly across the globe and
between Sweeney’s cast of eerily convincing characters, many based
on his experiences as an investigative reporter.” —The Yorkshire
Post
