  • Nick Brownlee (born 1967) is a British journalist and crime thriller writer. His critically-acclaimed debut novel, Bait, published in December 2008 by Piatkus, was the first in a series featuring Kenyan crimebusting duo Jake Moore and Detective Inspector Daniel Jouma. The second, Burn, was published in June 2009. Brownlee was born in Blyth, Northumberland, and educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle, and the University of Leeds. After leaving university he joined the Newcastle Evening Chronicle as a reporter, and continued to work for local newspapers in the North-East for several years before moving to London to work as a feature writer for The People. In 2000 he became a freelance writer, contributing to national newspapers and magazines. Shortly afterwards his first book was published: a guide to Coronation Street. Since then he has written several non-fiction titles on subjects ranging from cannabis to manufactured pop music. His last book was a history of the Tour de France, published in 2007. He now lives in Cumbria with his wife, daughter and dog. Bait and Burn have been bought for publication in Europe, the USA, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and India, and Brownlee has been commissioned to write two more Jake and Jouma novels for Piatkus. The third, Machete, will be published in July 2010. In January 2009 Bait was reviewed on the Simon Mayo Book Panel on BBC Radio Five Live. In March and May 2009 he appeared as a reviewer on the show.
