Trevor Wood’s standalone work includes You Can Run (2023), a crime thriller set between his Jimmy Mullen trilogy and the start of the DCI Jack Parker series. The book offers a self-contained story for readers looking to try Wood’s writing outside his series.
You Can Run was published after Wood completed the three Jimmy Mullen novels (The Man on the Street, One Way Street, and Dead End Street). It allowed him to work with new characters while his next series was in development. The book keeps the same gritty, Northern England setting that defines his other work.
Wood came to fiction writing later in life after a career that included time in the Royal Navy and work as a playwright. His experience with stage writing shows in the tight dialogue and lean plotting of his novels, and You Can Run is no exception.
