Michael Connor

Michael Connor's books are gaining extensive international interest, exploring edgy subjects, normally tinged with a touch of dark humour. They span much acclaimed true crime biography The Soho Don to The Cleansing, a novel set in southern Africa and based around a distasteful local tradition inflicted on widows.

"Connor is a powerful storyteller whose books sit com fortably in the genre of realism with excursions into the transgressive. Very little is sugar-coated or contain fluffed up candy-floss views of society; his protagonists regularly operate on the edge , outside generally acceptable norms of modern culture"

"A crime may be committed, but the plot will not be a 'police procedural' - more likely the reader will stand in, or close to, the shoes of the perpetrator, real or fictional. Unsettling, intriguing, controversial. The reader's sleep will be disturbed."
