Books
I'm the author of the Legends series of spy novels from Headline Books and the forthcoming SHARDS OF STARLIGHT, from Solaris Books.
My second novel, SOLITARY AGENTS, is out now in hardback, ebook and audio. It was longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize in July 2026. Paperback is forthcoming in November 2026.
My multi-award-winning debut novel, A RELUCTANT SPY, is out now in hardback, paperback, ebook and audio. It won the McDermid Debut Award at the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival, and the Bloody Scotland Debut Prize, both in 2025.
My third novel (and science fiction debut!) SHARDS OF STARLIGHT, writing as David W. Goodman, is coming from Solaris Books in Spring 2028.
