Welcome to the official website of Kerry Barnes — bestselling UK gangland and crime thriller author.

Welcome to my dark little corner of the internet…

Thanks for stopping by!

Here you’ll find all my books, series order, new releases, and the gritty crime thrillers readers know me for. I write gangland fiction with a sharp edge, where powerful women take centre stage, families fall apart, and secrets don’t stay buried for long.

If you love hard-hitting gangland thrillers, gritty East End crime stories, and dark, fast-paced revenge fiction, you’re in the right place.

My books dive deep into betrayal, broken loyalties, revenge, vigilantes, underworld power struggles, and the dangerous lines people cross to survive. They punch hard, cut deep, and they’re definitely not for the faint-hearted

My writing tools?
A laptop. A twisted imagination. And a dash of wickedness.
If you like soft and sweet stories with happy-ever-afters... then my books probably aren’t for you.
But if you enjoy tension, grit, raw emotion, a bit of swearing, some violence, and the occasional morally grey character doing very bad things for the right reasons—stick around.

Have a nose through my books, read the blurbs, maybe grab a cuppa (or something stronger) and dive in.

Happy reading, and thanks for joining me on this wicked ride.
