Denis Redmond
Engineering graduate, Denis Redmond served in the Army before moving into engineering management. He worked in the Middle East for several years, namely in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. His writing career began in Singapore while still in the army, initially writing in journals and magazines before publishing his first book, Hawthorn’s Hill in 2015.
Launching in February 2020, his latest novel The Leak involves tragic deaths, the secret manufacture of a modified nerve agent and the often-conflicting efforts of the police, Security Service, a security company investigator, and the press to uncover the truth.
When not writing, Denis enjoys spending time with his horses in dressage and eventing competitions, playing music (rather badly) and keeping a watchful eye on his dogs, Jenson, and Chelsea.

Rejection of a considerable donation to the government, an animal rights raid and six mysterious deaths.
What is the connection?
In a small community, six unexplained deaths baffle the police. Could an excessive donation to the government from chemical giant Biomed hold the answer? Chairman, Roland Balmer, asks ‘security consultant’ Dennis Royle to investigate.
Pivotal to the deaths, the police identify a modified nerve agent. Biomed denies involvement. As deception mounts, detectives place the victims’ families under house arrest, bringing deeper distress.
A leaked letter to the local paper sets young reporter Stuart Francis on the trail. His findings attract Julia Havers, an investigative journalist from a national daily. Will she and Dennis Royle expose the truth?
