John Clarkson

John Clarkson is an American author, renowned for his works in the crime, thriller, and mystery genres. He has written a total of nine novels, which include the "ONE" Series featuring Jack Devlin and the James Beck Series. Among his most popular works are "And Justice for One," "Among Thieves," "Bronx Requiem," "Death Comes Due," and "TRIBES," with the latter being the most recent addition to the James Beck Series.

John spent many years in the New York advertising industry, working as a copywriter, managing his own agency, and serving as a private consultant. These experiences provided him with a wealth of knowledge and insights into human nature, which he has deftly incorporated into his novels. After leaving the advertising industry, John turned to writing full-time, and he has since established his own imprint, John Clarkson Inc. This has allowed him to make his out-of-print novels available to readers once again, and he has re-edited and published several of his earlier works on Amazon.

John's "ONE" Series, which includes "And Justice for One," "One Man's Law," and "One Way Out," has been particularly well-received by critics and readers alike. These novels follow the character of Jack Devlin as he navigates the criminal underworld of New York. More recently, John has been focusing on his James Beck Series, which follows the character of James Beck, a former army Ranger who becomes embroiled in a complex web of crime and corruption. "Among Thieves," the first novel in the series, was published in 2015, followed by "Bronx Requiem" in 2016 and "Death Comes Due" in 2020. "TRIBES," the fourth novel in the series, was released recently. John's novels have been praised for their gripping plots, complex characters, and vivid depictions of New York's criminal underworld.
