Nigel brings a fresh series of mystery novels with the David Hammond books, exploring if perhaps there is some truth behind beliefs in hauntings after all, if you scrape away the hysteria and fantasy. Having studied sciences before working in industry, he is now a researcher and scriptwriter for science programmes. Rarely without a book to hand when not writing, he has a deep love for the English language, its history and varieties, and all the many accents that make it so interesting. He lives in the North East of England, overlooking a restless sea.

Nigel has written seven books in the David Hammond collection, starting with The Gate in the Shadows. The eighth is now making its way onto paper. These chart David's unusual career from 2006

This is a book that starts off full of promise, but then runs out of juice. Wiseman can obviously write, he makes reading a pleasure at times, but he eventually falls into the trap of most professionals in this field of study. The whole point of inte ...more
