Joseph Knox
Joseph Knox is a British crime writer and creator of the maverick Manchester detective, Aidan Waits. A former Waterstones bookseller and crime fiction buyer, Knox channelled his time spent living in Manchester into Sirens, a gritty urban noir entrenched in the city’s unique atmosphere and locales. The success of Sirens, published in 2017 and introducing his detective protagonist Aidan Waits, led to a sequel, The Smiling Man, the following year. The Sleepwalker, the third instalment in the series, was published in July 2019.
