Derek Thompson

Derek is a native Londoner, who now lives in Cornwall. He writes spy thrillers and crime mysteries that champion working-class protagonists. His character-driven, dialogue-rich Thomas Bladen spy series places Thomas on the bottom rung of British intelligence as he navigates the moral morass of surveillance and espionage, his complicated relationship with Miranda Wright, and a covert war that forces him out of the shadows.



The recurring themes in his work are: death, loss, choices, secrets and consequences.

Like the saying goes, write about what you know.
