In Conversation with Trevor Wood

Culture House Sunderland is thrilled to host North-East crime author Trevor Wood for a conversation about his latest crime novel with a twist, The Silent Killer. This book is the first in a Newcastle-set police procedural series featuring DCI Jack Parker, a detective with a secret. He has Early Onset Dementia and he will do anything and everything to keep it hidden from his peers and the criminals he's investigating. Whilst staying within the realms of the police procedural genre, this cracking thriller will explore character in depth and with sensitivity, as well as with the author's trademark dark humour. Trevor Wood has lived in Newcastle Upon Tyne, for more than 30 years. He's a former playwright who has also worked as a journalist. Prior to that he served in the Royal Navy for 16 years. His first novel, The Man on the Street, set in Newcastle’s homeless community, won several awards and was auctioned for television. His following books completed his first trilogy and were equally successful. The Silent Killer is his latest book and the first of a new series.
