Mark Capell
Mark Capell is a former documentary television director. He made shows for the BBC, ITV and satellite. He got to meet all sorts of weird and wonderful people, including a gangster who offered, for 'cost price', to kill anybody who upset him. Needless to say, he never took up the offer.
Instead, he decided to take his storytelling skills to the world of fiction.
His debut novel, 'Run, Run, Run', became a number one bestselling crime thriller on Amazon.
He followed it up with a series of novellas about a failed actor who becomes a successful undercover cop because of his inordinate ability to lie - The Myles Morgan Mysteries.
'Vows to Kill' was his second full length novel and is about a detective who receives a death threat: I will kill you on your wedding day.
Capell's latest novel is Café Insomniac: 25-year-old Justin opens an all-night café, but is soon on a quest to find out how his insomnia is connected to the murder of a customer.

“Dell had left the army and taken the discipline home with him. I’d left the theatre world and taken the whisky sodas home with me.”
“There was a ringing in his ears, like a dead phone line that he couldn’t hang up on.”
“Last summer, in London at least, the hoodie was transformed from a benign piece of leisurewear into a uniform for the disaffected, the angry, the malevolent. So much so that ‘hoodie’ was no longer a piece of clothing. It was a whole person. A hoodie was somebody likely to steal, plunder and do you unimaginable harm. People were crossing the street when a hoodie crossed their path - even if it was a 70-year-old gentleman walking his dog. That’s how quickly the fear had permeated the collective consciousness. And lifting the hood was tantamount to cocking a gun.”
