About Alex Dunlevy
Alex abandoned a career in finance at the age of forty-nine and spent a few years staring
at the Mediterranean, contemplating life and loss. Finally, he accepted what his heart
had always known. So, he joined some writing groups and he began to write.
He has now completed four novels in a series of crime thrillers set on the island of Crete
and featuring British protagonist Nick Fisher. The Unforgiving Stone was the October 2020 debut.
Beneath the Stone followed in 2021, The Stone Skimmers in 2022 and Tamarisk Bay in 2024.
All four have been awarded medallions of quality by B.R.A.G. (Book Readers Appreciation Group in the USA)
and Amazon UK readers rate them 4.5 (out of 5) on average.
Alex has also published a collection of short stories, The Late Shift Specialist. These are
quite different from his crime writing. Recently, he has been working on a darkly comic
novel set in the world of 1990s corporate finance and a bitter-sweet coming-of-age story,
set in the 1960s. There will probably be more Nick Fisher novels, before too long.
Born in Derbyshire, England, Alex now lives in The Apokóronas, a fertile region in north-west
of Crete, between the White Mountains and the Cretan Sea.
