Tom Wood is a full-time writer born in Burton-on-Trent who now lives in London.

Like Victor, Tom is passionate about physical sport, being both a huge boxing fan and practising Krav Maga martial arts, which has seen him sustain a number of injuries. He has not, however, ever killed anyone.Tom also publishes standalone psychological thrillers, including A Knock at the Door.
