D.L. Marshall was born and raised in Halifax, West Yorkshire, and writes thrillers that combine isolated settings with high-stakes tension. His debut novel Anthrax Island won the Northern Writers’ Award and introduced John Tyler, a protagonist who finds himself trapped in dangerous, confined situations — a contaminated island, a cargo ship full of mercenaries, frozen Arctic wilderness.
Marshall’s three John Tyler novels have drawn comparisons to the locked-room thriller tradition, with each book dropping its characters into a contained, hostile environment where escape is as much of a problem as survival. His writing leans into horror-adjacent territory, using geography and isolation to ratchet up tension.
