Wonderfully compelling
Peter May is a writer I’d follow to the ends of the earth. - New York Times
May’s novels are strong on place and the wounds left by old relationships - Sunday TimesHe is a terrific writer doing something different - Mark BillinghamFrom the first page I knew I was in safe hands. I knew I could trust this writer. - Sophie HannahStunningly original, highly topical and extremely well-written. - Scotland on SundayPeter May
Peter May was born and raised in Scotland. He was an award-winning journalist at the age of twenty-one and a published novelist at twenty-six. When his first book was adapted as a major drama series for the BCC, he quit journalism and during the high-octane fifteen years that followed, became one of Scotland’s most successful television dramatists. He created three prime-time drama series, presided over two of the highest-rated serials in his homeland as script editor and producer, and worked on more than 1,000 episodes of ratings-topping drama before deciding to leave television to return to his first love, writing novels.
He has won several literature awards in France, received the USA’s Barry Award for The Blackhouse, the first in his internationally bestselling Lewis Trilogy; and in 2014 was awarded the ITV Specsavers Crime Thriller Book Club Best Read of the Year award for Entry Island. Peter now lives in South-West France with his wife, writer Janice Hally.
