Ten whole novels (plus a handful of short stories, a novella, and what I insist on calling a short novel) with the one character.

Nope, it was just going to be a bit of fun, and to hell with the consequences.’
‘My aim in writing Missing, Presumed was to write the book I most wanted to read – a book with all the focus on character and relationships of a literary novel, but propelled forward with the page-turning motor of a thriller. (Two of my pet hates: literary novels where nothing at all happens, or things happen very sloowwwwwwwwly; and conversely hard-boiled thrillers hip-deep in blood and sadism: I am too squeamish.)’
