Ryan Hale burst onto the crime scene with his gritty debut Maximum Pressure, a London-set thriller exploring corruption, surveillance, and the darker corners of the capital.
Formerly a software engineer, Ryan draws heavily on his tech background, weaving cyber-espionage and digital mischief into his plots. Fans praise his work for its relentless pace, cinematic energy, and the occasional line of dry, slightly unhinged humour.

When he’s not writing, Ryan spends an embarrassing amount of time trying to quit coffee and failing spectacularly.
