Mike Walters

Michael was educated in Nottingham and at Cambridge University. After leaving university, he worked in management roles in the oil industry, broadcasting and banking, before moving into management consultancy. Having worked for various global practices, he now runs his own specialist consultancy working in the UK and abroad. His consultancy work in recent years has specialised in various aspects of the criminal justice sector, including police, prisons and probation, as well as various public bodies including parliaments in the UK and abroad. He now lives near Manchester with his three sons.

Michael has published three crime novels set in Mongolia, The Shadow Walker, The Adversary and The Outcast, as well as a number of non-fiction books. His most recent book, written as Alex Walters, is Trust No One, the first in a new series set in and around Manchester and featuring the undercover officer, Marie Donovan. The second book in series, Nowhere to Hide, will be published in November. His fiction draws heavily on his experiences of working with criminal justice organisations in both the UK and overseas. His Mongolian books have been likened to ‘Inspector Morse re-written by John Le Carre and set in Mongolia’, and were described in The Independent as ‘compulsive reading’ . His new book has been called ‘a constant page-turner’ by London Confidential magazine.
