Michael Slade is an alter ego who conjures up dark thrillers. He lurks in the mind of a criminal lawyer who has acted in more than 100 murder trials, including the last death penalty case. From HEADHUNTER (1984) and GHOUL (1987) to SWASTIKA (2005) and KAMIKAZE (2006), the twelve Slade chillers have fused the genres of police procedure, whodunit, suspense, horror, historical, legal, western, romance, adventure, and science fiction in differing proportions. HEADHUNTER is in film development. Best review description? "Literary bungee jumping with Agatha Christie's bastard son." Slade collaborates with Rebecca Clarke.
