Bio
Danny Kemp is a 63-year-old man, but just change the numbers around to find his real personality. He is quick witted with a devilish sense of humour, socially interacting across all generations. His writing comes from years of diverse experiences encompassing the Metropolitan Police, the tenancy of three Public Houses, where once he was arrested for attempted murder, and the Licensed Taxi Trade in London. His interests now are divided between his work, his family, especially his three Grandchildren, and his new found love of writing.
His second novel, THE DESOLATE GARDEN but first to be published, followed on quickly from his first, Look Both Ways, Then Look Behind, and a third Mitzy Collins is well underway. He hopes it to be the beginning of a new career. He is a member of The International Thrillers Writers.
His novel THE DESOLATE GARDEN is being made into a Film.
Book Reviews
THE DESOLATE GARDEN.
A recent review of the story.
“THE DESOLATE GARDEN is especially for readers who like a story, largely rendered through dialog because it was the dialog that pulled the work off the page and onto a movie set. This political thriller resonates with charm, deft touches of satire, and romantic entanglement and where the promise of rampant sex is a turn of the page away. As the story unfolds, the relationship between the two, both sexually and intellectually, ricochets back and forth like a train driven by a teenager, stuck in first gear. Lord Harry knows more than he is willing to reveal, and Judith Meadows knows more about his family than Lord Harry does.”

A Review.
At ten past one in the morning, a housekeeper is greeted with a startling sight: her employer, Lord Elliot Paterson, dead by means of a bullet to the head. Lord Elliot had managed, in keeping with family tradition started centuries earlier, a secret Government bank located near Queen Anne’s Gate, Westminster.
Just a few years prior to his murder, he had discovered a 1936 bank ledger revealing a questionable Russian address. This discovery led to another: a missing family fortune. As a result of these revelations, Lord Elliot formed a probable and dangerous hypothesis. Were these discoveries what prompted the banker’s death, and if so, who instigated the murder?
That is precisely what the next Lord Paterson is attempting to uncover. But Harry Paterson’s road to the answer is considerably more complicated than he initially anticipated. Not only is it complex, spanning many years of his family’s past as well as international borders, but it is dangerous, and in a different sense than you would expect. Assigned as case officer is an unlikely individual; an enigmatic and captivating young woman, Judith Meadows. Probing, sharp and unsettling knowledgeable of his family affairs, Harry becomes increasingly unsure of whether Judith is a nightmare, or a dream. Nonetheless, the two must piece together the puzzle before another meets the late Lord Elliot’s fate.
THE DESOLATE GARDEN by Danny Kemp is a fresh spy mystery providing entertainment, stimulation and insight. Brilliantly constructed, the winding plot, stealthy loopholes and clever humour render this novel one that claims your attention, holding it captive until the final page. What with its vivid descriptions, three-dimensional characters and accessible prose, ‘The Desolate Garden’ can be thoroughly enjoyed by a wide spectrum of readers.
It has been likened, not unnaturally, to some English classics such as The 39 Steps, The Third Man and The Constant Gardener. Like those novels, The Desolate Garden is to be made into a film.

About Daniel Kemp

Daniel Kemp is a member of The Society of Authors. His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself! On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic accident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden. Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for five years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company. All ten of his novels are now published by CNext Chapter with the tenth novel being a two-part ending to the Heirs and Descendants Series. A Covenant of Spies completed the four-book series alongside: What Happened In Vienna, Jack? Once I Was A Soldier and A Widow's Son. Under the Creativia publishing banner, The Desolate Garden went on to become a bestselling novel in World and Russian Literature in 2017. The following year, in May 2018, his book What Happened In Vienna, Jack? was a number-one bestseller on four separate Amazon sites: America, the UK, Canada, and Australia. Although it's true to say that he mainly concentrates on what he knows most about; murders laced by the mystery involving spies, his diverse experience of life shows in the two novellas he wrote, namely: Why? A Complicated Love, and the intriguing story titled--The Story That Had No Beginning. He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed employee of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel. There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality. Amazon Author Page https://www.amazon.co.uk/Daniel-Kemp/...
