Off to New Orleans today to attend #Bouchercon, the world’s largest crime fiction event where I’m on some great panels. #DeathOfAnOfficer, my new #FrankMerlin #WW2 London detective mystery is published in the US this week.
Lovely Financial Times review of my new #FrankMerlin book #DeathOfAnOfficer in today’s edition. ‘Ellis conjures up an immersive, authentic world in this evocative series.’
Know there was a crime boom in #WW2 London? Gangsters, killers, black marketeers and other villains made hay in the bombed-out capital. For a fictional take on wartime criminality try #DeathOfAnOfficer, the new #FrankMerlin detective thriller. For facts try #BoomTime, my new WW2 true crime history.

[ Review to follow ]
It’s publication day for #DeathOfAnOfficer, the latest in the ‘masterly..compelling..intriguing..unputdownable’ #FranKMerlin #WW2 London detective series. Available online and at all good bookshops.
Happy days! Got my author copies of the new #FrankMerlin detective thriller #DeathOfAnOfficer. Out from Headline 29/5. Early #netgalley reviewers say: ‘I loved it… a great read…the first Merlin I’ve read and it certainly won’t be the last…twisty, intriguing…superb entertainment…his best yet!’
#DeathOfAnOfficer, #6 in the #FrankMerlin #WW2 detective series, is out 29/5. All books are stand alone but if you want to start at the beginning, #TheEmbassyMurders kicks the series off. In a recent review the Daily Mail said of #1: ‘A real page-turner…juicy enough to devour in 1 sitting.’
On some good panels again at #CrimeFest in Bristol next month. Sadly this will be the last but a fittingly stellar list of authors attending. Advance copies of my new #FrankMerlin adventure, #DeathOfAnOfficer, will be on sale. Get your tickets now!
‘Tightly plotted, meticulously researched, and written with wonderful panache. #DeathOfAnOfficer is an excellent entry in a truly remarkable historical mystery series.’
Bestselling author Tom Mead’s verdict on the latest in the #FrankMerlin #WW2 London detective series out 29/5 from Headline.
Blurb now out for #DeathOfAnOfficer the 6th in the ‘masterly…compelling…unputdownable’ #FrankMerlin #WW2 London detective series. Out 29/5/25 from Headline.
