Alex Walters has written three books set in and around Manchester--Trust No-One and Nowhere to Hide featuring the undercover officer, Marie Donovan, and Late Checkout, which introduced the rather distinctive DCI Kenny Murrain. As Michael Walters, he has also published three crime novels set in modern-day Mongolia, The Shadow Walker, The Adversary and The Outcast. Alex has previously worked in the oil industry, broadcasting and banking and now, alongside his writing, runs a consultancy working mainly in the criminal justice sector with police, prisons and probation. He lives in Manchester with his wife, occasional sons and too many cats.
