About

Born in the wilds of San Francisco, with its rich literary history and public transport system teeming with characters suitable for crime novels, the stage was set for Max Tomlinson to become a writer.

He has published six novels to date: SENDERO (listed as one of the top 100 Indie novels of 2012 by Kirkus), WHO SINGS TO THE DEAD, LETHAL DISPATCH, LOOKING FOR THE DEAD BOYS, THE CAIN FILE (selected by Amazon’s Kindle Scout program), and the follow-up – THE DARKNET FILE – published in March 2017.

He can also be seen walking through San Francisco with a shelter-mix named Floyd, who stops and stares at headlights as they pass by at night. Perhaps Floyd is channeling the demons of Jim Thompson, Elmore Leonard and Patricia Highsmith, like his owner.
