J.M. Dalgliesh is a highly successful English author, best known for his crime mystery book series, Dark Yorkshire and Hidden Norfolk. Born on the south coast of England, he grew up in Hampshire, United Kingdom. In his career, Dalgliesh has worked in various industries, including the power transmission industry, the retail sector, call centers, and even spent time as a night-owl in a bakery. However, he considers his greatest challenge and achievement to be his role as a stay-at-home father.
Dalgliesh has a knack for creating captivating and complex characters and storylines. His current work, the Dark Yorkshire crime-series, features the deeply flawed yet brilliant DI Nathaniel Caslin. Set in Yorkshire, England, the series takes readers through some of the UK's most beautiful and rugged landscapes, from the North Sea coastline to the North York Moors. The novels are written in the style of Crime Noir, providing a gritty and atmospheric backdrop for Caslin's battles against his own demons and those he encounters in his work.
The first book in the series, Divided House, was published in 2018 and quickly became a bestseller in the UK, USA, and Australia. Since then, Dalgliesh has sold over two million books across his two series, with each book becoming a bestseller in its own right. In 2020, the fifth book in the Hidden Norfolk series, Hear No Evil, was shortlisted for Amazon's prestigious Kindle Storyteller Award. His books have been translated and are available in sixty-eight countries worldwide, with plans underway to bring both series to the silver screen by a National Film Awards winning production team. In 2023, Dalgliesh will unveil a new series of books set in Scotland, featuring a new team of detectives led by Detective Inspector Duncan McAdam.
