“Anton Holt” interviews Tom Palmer about writing Killer Pass
What inspired you to write this book?
For a long time, real footballers have been being burgled. I wondered what Danny would do about this. I wanted to see if I could make up a story where he could solve a crime very close to home, based not abroad.
Two of the characters in Killer Pass are former footballers. Why did you do that?
I have read about footballers and how they deal with life after giving up the game. A lot of players are not millionnaires when they hang up their boots and many don’t do so well. I have a read about a few who get involved with crime. That really interested me. How could someone go from being a professional footballer to being in prison.
Charlotte helps Danny a lot in Killer Pass. Is the series becoming more about a team of football detectives than just Danny?
Yes. I like the idea of more than one of them solving crimes. Charlotte is a great character and I wanted to give her the chance to grow a bit. But, in the end, Danny is the lead detective.
Real Readers Reviews
“I think the first chapter of your new book is brilliant I look forward to reading the whole book” Tom Bell
“I have already bought Killer Pass and read it. It is very good and exciting, and definitely a page turner.” Arun
“Hi this is Leon Wadee, I just wanted to say your book Killer Pass is brilliant.”
“An excellent book for all readers, but in particular for reluctant readers, who need a good plot to grip them and then ease them through the reading process without realising it. Tom Palmer uses a clever subterfuge of making his main character – Danny – ordinary. It is Danny’s fallibility that makes Tom Palmer’s book – along with clever twists in the plot – dare I say it – a real page turner.” Write Away
I have just finished reading the 4th book of your Foul Play series. And it was incredible! Each one took me a day to read! So I was finished in 4 days. I literally couldn’t put the book down, it was like I was standing right next to Danny and when he was in a dangerous situation or his friends were in a dangerous situations my heart was beating so fast. I love reading and I have read a LOT of books, I have about 12 books on the go at the moment. But when I was reading The Foul Play series I was only reading that, I couldn’t stop!! Thankyou!! Sophie
