ABOUT TOM QUILLER
Crime. Espionage. Dark secrets.
Stories from Norway’s frozen landscapes to the hidden corridors of British intelligence.
Tom Quiller
Tom Quiller is the crime and thriller pen name of BAFTA-nominated writer Richard Dinnick.
His fiction ranges from Scandinavian crime and Norwegian dark folklore to British espionage and destination thrillers, but the books share the same obsession: people under pressure, buried histories, dangerous loyalties and the moment a secret can no longer stay hidden.
At the centre of the catalogue is Trondheim detective Frida Skardet, whose Norse Krimology investigations move through some of Norway’s coldest and most isolated places. Former Royal Marines SBS officer Sam Tilson operates in a very different world, drawn into MI5 missions where national security and personal loyalty are rarely the same thing.
The darker side of Norway continues with Erland Vistad in the Norwegian Dark Folklore thrillers, while The Gilded Lily series leaves the snow behind for beautiful luxury destinations where privilege, scandal and murder travel together.
