Mark David Abbott

Mark David Abbott is the author of 23 thrillers and novellas, including the bestselling John Hayes series that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Born in Cyprus, raised in New Zealand, and shaped by a life of global adventure, Mark has worked as everything from a barman and factory hand to a corporate executive in Hong Kong — before swapping boardrooms for books. Now based in Bangalore, he draws inspiration from the places he’s lived and the characters he’s met along the way to spin fast-paced, morally complex stories where ordinary people face extraordinary danger. When he isn’t writing about vigilantes and dark secrets, Mark’s probably out for a run or adding to his ever-growing gin collection — always on the lookout for the next good story… or the perfect G&T.
