Matthew Hattersley writes fast-paced thrillers with protagonists who operate in violent, morally gray territory. His Acid Vanilla series, which began in 2020, follows an assassin through ten books of action and intrigue, while the John Beckett series (2023-2025) takes a more noir-inflected approach to crime fiction.
Hattersley has published nineteen books since 2019, building a catalog that ranges from the standalone Cookies to the connected world of his Acid Vanilla and Jareth Hicks thrillers. His style favors quick pacing and sharp dialogue over lengthy exposition.
