About
Mark Dawson was born in Lowestoft, in the UK. He has worked as a DJ, a door-to-door ice cream seller, factory hand and club promoter. He eventually trained as a lawyer and worked for ten years in the City of London and Soho, firstly pursuing money launderers around the world and then acting for celebrities suing newspapers for libel.
He is presently writing five series.
The USA Today and Audible bestselling John Milton books follow a disgruntled British assassin who is trying – without much success – to put his past behind him. In order to atone for the blood on his hands, he has dedicated himself to helping those in need.
The Atticus Priest series features an eccentric private detective based in Salisbury. A brilliant observer with an unconventional approach to investigation, Atticus specialises in solving seemingly impossible mysteries that have baffled the police. The books combine classic detective fiction with contemporary crime and are set against the backdrop of Wiltshire and the surrounding countryside.
The Beatrix Rose series follows the adventures of the most dangerous woman ever to serve at Her Majesty’s pleasure, and the vengeance she wreaks after being betrayed by her former employers. The series is currently in development for television.
The Isabella Rose series continues her mother’s adventures in a quest to uncover a global conspiracy that threatens to pitch the world into war.
The Charlie Cooper novellas follow a serving operative of Group Fifteen, the covert organisation that once employed John Milton. Faster-paced and more action-oriented than the Milton novels, they chart Cooper’s missions around the world as he tackles threats to British interests while navigating the dangerous world of modern espionage.
Mark lives in Wiltshire with his wife and two children.
