RT says “Hi”
I write noir: ferreting down to the root of problems, getting a lot wrong and a lot right.
My work is often visceral, never gratuitous. Every act, expletive, and situation – crude, violent, funny, or sexual – serves one purpose: to bring us closer to the truth about people and society. It can make us laugh, cringe or feel mortally uncomfortable – but never dull.
Olga “Seje” Hansen thrillers
Ruthless. Smart. Ex-Finnish Special Forces turned Detective Inspector
There are four books in the series. Crimson Lining is available. Copper Lining, Mercury Lining and Silver Lining are more than just wish-list drafts.
Crimson Lining – Buy now
Meet Peter Malone, a Black Country cop turned FBI desk jockey who narrates the story of Olga “Seje” Hansen. A former Captain in the elite Utti Jaeger Regiment, she now heads the Helsinki Police Special Intervention Unit. Her latest mission – working with the FBI and Europol – aims to take down a brutal trafficking ring. Stateside and off-grid with a hand-picked team of female volunteers, she’s manipulative, fearless and has no boundaries – for which Peter pays a high price. Grim, but funny, action-packed, taboo-breaking, and unapologetically human.
Copper Lining – Coming soon
Peter takes us through Olga’s transformation from abused teen to unarmed-combat trainer at Finland’s elite military HQ, and finally to DI Hansen of the Helsinki Police.
Still scarred by past trauma and war wounds, she’s far from invincible—but more than a match for the chauvinist police colleagues who foolishly test her fighting skills. Her boss is also forced to eat crow when she excels at a test assignment meant to discredit her.
The story moves to Holland, where she faces Hector Fernandez, the feared Head of Security for the Groman cartel.
Mercury Lining – Coming soon
Peter takes us deep into the cartel’s inner workings and the horrific figures behind the Groman network. Not for the faint-hearted.
Olga “Seje” Hansen and her team of dedicated female officers risk everything to infiltrate the operation. Amid casualties, heartbreak, and nail-biting action, redemption surfaces in unexpected places—and always at a cost.
Silver Lining – Coming soon
We pick up Operation Growsome where the first book left off. After months of risk-taking and loss of life, Olga’s boss recalls her to Helsinki and threatens to shut down the mission, claiming she’s become more criminal than the targets she hunts. Olga dies in a tragic snowmobile accident.
In her honour, nine members of her former regiment—the few who called her “Seje”—ghost themselves into the U.S. to launch a final assault on the Groman ranch. Finnish Special Forces take on a small army of lifelong Tex-Mex gangsters, trained by Hector Fernandez to protect Groman at all costs. No capes. No heroes. No guarantees of payback.
