Andrew Barrett is a British crime fiction author who spent over 25 years working as a Scenes of Crime Officer in Yorkshire. His forensic experience forms the backbone of his writing, most notably in the CSI Eddie Collins series (14 books) and the earlier SOCO Roger Conniston/The Dead Trilogy (3 books).
His newer DS Regan Carter series, launching in 2024, shifts from forensic investigation to detective work while maintaining the procedural detail his readers expect. Barrett also published The End of Lies as a standalone and has one non-fiction book about the jargon used in his Collins series. His work is a strong choice for readers who want crime fiction grounded in real forensic procedure.
