Andrew Grant continues to build on his thriller reputation

In DIE TWICE Author Andrew Grant Continues
To Build On His Thriller Reputation
(Already Being Mentioned With The Best)

If your writing is to be discussed in the same sentence with the best, the proof must definitely jump off the pages. With DIE TWICE (Minotaur, mid-May release), thriller author Andrew Grant demonstrates in only his second novel the fast-pace story crafting that gets him mentioned with the likes of Robert Ludlum and Ian Fleming. The comparisons actually started with his heralded 2009 debut EVEN.

DIE TWICE brings readers back to the world of gritty hero David Trevellyan. He’s the British Naval Intelligence Officer and modern-day James Bond who was introduced to thriller/noir fans in EVEN.

Obliged to leave New York City in the aftermath of his previous mission, David Trevellyan is summoned to the British Consulate in Chicago. To the same office where just a week before his new handler was attacked and shot by a Royal Navy Intelligence operative gone bad. Assigned the job of finding the rogue agent and putting an end to his treacherous scheme, Trevellyan soon finds that once again, his only hopes of saving countless innocent lives lie not within the system, but in his instinctive belief – you’re bound to do what’s right, whatever the personal cost may be.

“Obviously it’s extremely flattering to be mentioned alongside the icons of the business,” said Grant. “I'm delighted if readers are making comparisons like that. But I just try to write the kind of books I’d like to read, and hope the characters and storylines are woven together in a way that people will enjoy. “

If authors are to write what they know then Grant has placed Trevellyan in a setting which he knows well. Grant resides in Chicago and the United Kingdom. “Chicago works as a location because the city is so diverse,” said Grant. "It enabled me to put Trevellyan in places that suited the action, from the glamorous center of the city to seedy nightclubs, prosperous neighborhoods and grimy back alleys - not to mention the kind of abandoned industrial complex you would not want to be caught in after dark."
