They say that one good turn deserves another, but what about the opposite kind?
From the author of psychological thrillers The Artist, Sleep No More, and Victim Mentality, One Good Turn is an electrifying collection of three separate but interlinked short stories, all set in London on the same fateful night.
You’ve Got a Friend
Mark is on nightshift duty on the You’ve Got a Friend Helpline. Unfortunately for the callers, his idea of help is very different to theirs.
One Good Turn
Two young tourists in London find themselves on the last train out of the city, and begin to wonder if they’ll ever get to their hotel…
Fare Game
An illegal cab driver picks up an old, confused man and offers him a lift home. It’ll be a journey they may well regret.
‘In any given city, lives will intersect. In both good ways and bad.’

(Very) Quick Author Q and A
What inspired you to write this story?
I’ve always loved reading psychological thriller novels, as well as behavioural science and criminal psychology books.
(You might be able to guess that I’ve always had an interest in the dark side of human nature...)
After writing my second novel I had loads of ideas that weren’t quite right for full-length novels, but which I thought would work well together as a short story mystery collection. I decided it would be interesting to write three linked short stories all set in the city of London and featuring people with malicious intentions.
Who will enjoy this book?
Anybody who likes forensic psychology fiction, suspenseful short stories, and sinister tales with a twist.
Oh, and anybody who likes short stories about the dark side of London...
