'As a barrister, that learned skill, the ability to tell a passionate, engaging story to twelve complete strangers and to take them with me when I do it? That's storytelling'
Practising barrister and former boxer Tony Kent published his first novel Killer Intent, the first book in the Dempsey/Devlin series, in 2017. Since then he has published Marked for Death, Power Play and No Way to Die; his new book, The Shadow Network, is out tomorrow (15 February) with Elliott & Thompson. The political thriller is set against the backdrop of Russian espionage and American spy-hunting and the modern day consequences of what the superpowers did during the Cold War. He is also the founder of crime-writing festival Chiltern Kills, which launched in October 2023 and raised money for youth homelessness charity Centrepoint.
