'Scary-as-hell...shocking, gruesome, and terrifying...a perfect book for fans of Deaver, Koontz and King' -- Amazon.com (Editor's Pick) on THE FACE OF DEATH 'Mcfadyen is one of those authors who seems to surpass himself with every new book, and THE DARKER SIDE is no exception. I read this book in less than a day as I was utterly unable to put it down...With each new book written, the characters reveal more layers about themselves and grow further' -- crimesquad.com on THE DARKER SIDE 20080701 'Readers of Cody Mcfadyen's previous books will recognise descriptions in the reviews of both titles: shocking...terrifying...brilliant. Well, I wouldn't argue against his latest serial-killer outing, THE DARKER SIDE, receiving more of the same, and in spades...I found myself desperate to know who the killer was and why he or she was doing it. And surely that is what good thriller writing is all about.' -- Shots Mag on THE DARKER SIDE 20080701 'Terrifically good, terrifically scary ... very hard to put down' -- San Francisco Chronicle on SHADOW MAN 20060702

Cody Mcfadyen designed websites until he became a full time writer when he got a publishing deal for his first thriller, SHADOW MAN. He lives in Southern California with his two black labradors. He drinks coffee 'copiously', plays guitar 'badly', and reads 'voraciously'. He abhors adverbs in writing, except when used in short bios like this one.
