Fans of the multi-million-selling Ben Hope series already know McAllister as the tough, determined Oxford cop with whom ex-SAS soldier Hope has already crossed paths, and will again.

Born and raised in Belfast, Tom McAllister moved to England to join the Thames Valley force, policing the crime-ridden darker side of the City of the Dreaming Spires. He’s a rugged individualist who doesn’t always go by the playbook; a maverick defender of the innocent; and a hell of a good cook.

THE CAGE is the start of a brand new series from the pen of the author who’s been described as ‘the greatest living exponent of the classic chase thriller’. Tom McAllister’s first solo adventure sees him embroiled in a gruesome multiple murder case that has shaken the city of Oxford. A skilled serial assassin is stalking and executing newly-released child molesters. As the body count starts to mount up, McAllister finds himself drawn into a deadly game that’s way more than he bargained for . . .
