All his life, Patrick Thompson has been inspired by the rolling landscape of tarmac, low-rise concrete slabs and bread queues that is Dudley. He has written for as long as he can remember. Monitor Light is his second published novel, following his debut, Seeing the Wires.

‘Genuinely gripping, genuinely funny, occasionally disturbing, Execution Plan is all of these and more, as the story sweeps back to the less than swinging 80 and returns to the present via some great set pieces … an unusual and memorable work.’ SFXPraise for Seeing the Wires:‘I f***ing loved it. Great writing throughout, wonderfully structured and conceived: utterly magical and genuinely unusual. Brilliant.’ MICHAEL MARSHALL SMITH
