Robert Whanslaw

Robert Whanslaw writes modern British psychological noir crime fiction about moral failure, obsession, and injustice.

He writes noir, dark crime fiction, and psychological thrillers grounded in grit, flaws, and the messy business of being human.

He doesn’t write about perfect people. If he did, they’d be the kind you’d want to throw off a fast-moving train.

Raised on the likes of Raymond Chandler and James M. Cain, and the raw voices of mid-century noir, Whanslaw brings a classic noir fatalism into the modern world. His stories walk the fine line between justice and survival, where everyone has a secret and most people lie.
