The real Scarlet Pimpernel

Imagine my delight, in recent historical research, to find evidence for a real life Scarlet Pimpernel. A shadowy figure who left flower 'tokens' so those hoping to escape revolutionary France might recognise him.

Even more wonderful (to me at least) was the record of a female version of this dashing figure, known simply as L'Incroyable. (The Incredible).

Naturally I was desperate to represent his r Read more of this blog post »

“Best to take one day at a time in this uncertain life and be grateful for those days that treat you well.”
C.S. Quinn, The Thief Taker

“It was typical, he thought, that it had come to this. One minute he was happily selling forged certificates and making good money and the next he was forced to choose between torture, amputation or leaping into a pile of corpses. It was the kind of thing which always seemed to be happening to him.”
C.S. Quinn, The Thief Taker

“plucked out a slim document. It was latticed with”
C.S. Quinn, Dark Stars

Tom Greer Hi, thanks for friending me on Goodreads. My new crime novel, Death Comes Calling, is now available from Kindle ebook and paperback form, so please feel free to take a look via the Amazon UK link at the bottom.

The Kindle price is £2.99 and the paperback price is £9.32.

A successful career woman is found dead on the floor of her North London kitchen with her throat brutally slashed. Beside the body lies a half-open razor with a single droplet of blood at the tip of an otherwise pristine blade.

However, the forensics prove this razor can’t be the murder weapon, and when another successful career woman is found murdered a few days later, again in her kitchen, again with her throat cut and again with a blood-tipped half-open razor placed beside her body, Detective Chief Inspector John Gore of the Metropolitan Police fears he has a potential serial killer on his hands.

As the body count rises the pressure is mounting on Gore to quickly find and stop the killer.

Meanwhile someone is sending him taunting notes, each headed, Death Comes Calling, and Gore begins to realise the killer is playing mind games not just with the police, but with him personally. The question is…why?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089NHM8W1

Thanks, Tom.


Rosanna Leo Lovely to meet you, CS! Happy reading.
