The Detainee

2013 saw the release of the eagerly awaited publication of the first book in Peter Liney's chillingly real, dystopian trilogy, THE DETAINEE (Jo Fletcher Books). Since then we've had INTO THE FIRE (2014), and the final book, IN CONSTANT FEAR (2015). And now the news that The Detainee is in line to be adapted for TV as a serial.

Peter was born in Wiltshire, UK, though he has spent a lot of his life travelling, with Australia and Thailand acting as his second home. His list of occupations is embarrassingly long, everything from teaching English to two days as a trainee stuntman (he gave up, thought it was too dangerous). He loves photography, music - both listening to and playing, and is a great movie lover. Which is possibly why he has been accused of not writing books at all, but 'movies in a book form'.

If he wasn't a writer, he would've loved to have been an opera singer, so we should all be grateful for his writing success.
