Linwood Barclay – Zack Walker Series – Stand Alone Thrillers
Born: 1955, Connecticut
Education: Trent University
Nominations: Barry Award for Best Thriller, Shamus Award for Best Original P.I. Paperback
Back in 2007 I meet an interesting character Zack Walker, who was a detective who made some Bad Moves and got involved with some Bad Guys and had four great adventures. Then his creator Linwood Barclay wrote two books Too Close to Home and No Time for Goodbye which outsold the Zack Walker books by a lot and put Linwood Barclay on the map as a major stand alone thriller writer!! And while I may one of the few who still miss Zack Walker Linwood’s thrillers are terrific.
