Richard Parker also writes as R J Parker for HarperCollins and was formerly a TV script writer, script editor and producer before turning his hand to penning high concept stand alone thrillers. WHILE YOU SLEPT is 2020's stand alone thriller. 'What would you do if you woke up in your home... But it wasn't your home at all?' THE DINNER PARTY is his ninth and first book for One More Chapter. It was a chart and retail hit. THE SONGBIRD GIRLS is his eighth book and is the second to feature D I Tom Fabian who meets infamous serial killer Christopher Wisher. NEVER SAY GOODBYE is his seventh thriller novel and is the first of a suspense series to feature D I Tom Fabian. KEEP HER SAFE is his sixth stand alone. Readers are now double locking their doors at night. HIDE AND SEEK is his fifth book. Dare you meet Mr Whisper? FOLLOW YOU was his fourth psychological thriller and has been described as Bookouture's darkest crime novel to date. His third, STALK ME, rode high in the US and UK charts. The movie rights to his second thriller SCARE ME have been acquired by a major Hollywood studio, and the book has been adapted for the screen by Wentworth Miller - star of PRISON BREAK and screenwriter of horror thriller STOKER. STOP ME, his darkly fiendish debut, was shortlisted for the John Creasey (New Blood) Dagger Award. Praise for Richard Parker: 'STOP ME is a tightly written, fast paced debut that keeps you turning the pages...' Simon Kernick (Author of RELENTLESS and SEVERED)
