Exeter
College,
Oxford
and
the
American
Film
Institute
in
Los
Angeles,
where
he
worked
as
a
screenwriter.
After
developing
a
passion
for
hard-boiled
detective
fiction
and
outlandish
conspiracy
theories,
he
returned
to
London
to
write
theKnightley
&
Sonseries.
His
ambition
is
to
start
a
father-son
detective
agency,
if
his
son
will
allow
it.
Recenzii
Praise
for
K-9
(Knightley
and
Son
2):The
second
in
the
Knightley
and
Son
series
gets
a
little
darker,
offering
more
bite,
tragedy
and
paternal
dysfunction,
as
well
as
respectable
levels
of
gore.
Darkus
Knightley
is
the
primary
tool
his
periodically
comatose
father,
Alan,
taps
to
continue
investigating
the
elusive
criminal
gang,
the
Combination.
At
the
end
ofKnightley
and
Son(2014),
their
partnership
looked
promising
and,
optimistically,
so
did
their
fractured
familial
relationship.
As
the
book
opens,
however,
paterfamilias
is
working
alone
again.
Darkus,
left
in
the
company
of
an
incontinent
but
loyal
former
war
dog,
discovers
something
afoot.
A
number
of
dogs
are
missing
at
Hampstead
Heath,
and
enormous,
bloodthirsty
mutts
are
appearing
during
full
moons
to
maul
police
officers
(werewolf
theories
abound).
Pressing
his
father
to
work
together
again,
Darkus
finds
that
Knightley's
suggestion
that
they
be
a
detecting
duo
was
more
of
a
pacifier
than
a
promise,
and
the
feeling
of
abandonment
returns.
This
is
readable
as
a
stand-alone,
but
familiarity
with
the
first
instalment
will
give
readers
the
full
scope
of
Darkus's
frustration
with
a
physically
and
emotionally
absent
father.
Though
it
suffers
some
from
second-book
syndrome,
its
closer
examination
of
the
father-son
relationship,
the
endearing
boy-and-his-dog
thread,
the
conversely
violent
thrill
of
the
occult,
and
one
of
the
creepiest,
multifaceted
villains
this
side
of
Moriarty
will
ensnare
readers.A
teeth-gnashing
thrillermore
macabre
than
its
predecessor,it
will
have
readers(ahem)howling
for
a
third.
