podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/l... I did a podcast with The Crime Agents hosted by LBC's crime journo, Andy Hughes and ex Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu .. we talked about my career and how it led to me being a crime writer ... Have a listen

Rat Race by Callum McSorley Raw, brutal, and monstrously funny .... Ally McCoist is as dodgy, and reprehensible as ever, and all the more entertaining for it ... Callum has knocked it out of the park again ... The bastard ...

Lovely to be front and centre by the door at Inverness @waterstones.bsky.social

About to start this bad boy by @nivenj1.bsky.social narrated by the brilliant Angus King (who also narrates my books) It may be a long dog walk !

amzn.eu/d/fmRYesi Just today.. dive in

Max Connor wants you all to spend 99p on this ace book !! amzn.eu/d/00aIwks

I have just finished the insanely addictive No Mercy. It has all the hallmarks - riveting, twisty-turny plotting and a wonderful cast of characters - of a @neillancaster66.bsky.social book, but is apparently by some Max Connor chap. Either way, it is sensational. I cannot recommend it enough.

Out today !! Max would be delighted if you'd buy this ! So would I amzn.eu/d/3Mqivnf

#BinDay Peggy's owner must be a real opportunist to try and hijack this touching scene to promote Max Connor's (aka ME) new book Yep .. I am that shallow amzn.to/3S4kJmF

Finishing this fabulous book is a bitter sweet moment for me The book is, of course, brilliant as I'd expect from my late friend Denzil Meyrick A rapid paced, tense, gripping crime thriller But I can't help feel sad that it's the last book of his I'll read RIP big man

A long time ago, in a faraway land with a full head of hair
