Crime writer Trevor Wood will visit Northallerton library on Wednesday, 11 June, to talk about his award-winning Man on the Street trilogy and his latest novel, The Silent Killer.
Newcastle-based Trevor is a former playwright who has also worked as a journalist and spin doctor for the city council. Before that, he served in the Royal Navy for 16 years.
His first novel, The Man on the Street, set in Newcastle’s homeless community, won the Crime Writers’ Association’s John Creasey New Blood Dagger for best debut and the Crimefest Specsavers Debut Novel of the Year.
It was also shortlisted for the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year.
It was followed by the highly acclaimed sequel, One Way Street. The final book in the trilogy, Dead End Street, was released in 2022. His fourth book, You Can Run, a standalone thriller set in a remote Northumberland village, was also longlisted for the Theakston’s prize.
Trevor’s latest book, The Silent Killer, published earlier this year, is a Newcastle-set police thriller with a twist. With a series of murders terrorising the neighbourhood and one of his closest colleagues lying in the mortuary following a hit and run, DCI Jack Parker thinks things are about as tough as they have ever been.
But he is about to confront one killer he can’t stop: early onset dementia. The Silent Killer has been optioned for television by Filmnation TV UK.
Trevor’s visit to Northallerton library is supported by New Writing North’s Northern Bookshelf programme and Arts Council England.
The evening will begin at 7pm. Trevor will talk about and read from his work and answer questions from the audience.
Tickets cost £3.
Booking is essential as places are limited.
