Simon Fairfax writes across three distinct genres without obvious connection between them, which makes his catalog unusual. His financial thriller series centers on Rupert Brett, a dealmaker whose transactions lead him into danger. His medieval series, A Knight and a Spy, follows Jamie de Grispere through the years leading to the Battle of Agincourt. His Plainsman Western series is set in the post-Civil War American frontier.

The common thread is Fairfax’s interest in men working in skilled, dangerous roles — the chartered surveyor turned financial thriller writer knows how deals work; the polo-playing martial artist knows how physical combat feels. Both elements surface across the three series, whatever the time period or setting.
