Philip Cox was born and raised in the UK seaside city of Southend on Sea, which lies forty miles east of London. After graduating from High School, he began a career in UK Banking and Financial Services, and spent the next decades working his way through the ranks, finally becoming a Branch Manager of a major UK bank.
Philip left banking after the birth of his first child to be a stay-at-home father, and it was during this time that, in between changing diapers/nappies, he began to write his first novel, ‘After the Rain’.
Now having written sixteen books, he is based in Hertfordshire, some twenty miles north of London, with his wife, two daughters, and three cats.
During his spare time (what spare time there is between school runs and writing!), Philip enjoys indulging his interest in Model Railroading/Railways.
He is tall and slim, has a few grey hairs, and wishes he could get to the gym more often.
No Time to Die

North Hollywood
Monday 9:00am, and Gabriella Marcos is brutally assaulted and slain in her bedroom.
Almost at the end of a shift, an exhausted Leroy and Quinn are called to the scene, to find they have a murder with no apparent motive, and very little in the way of clues.
They begin by looking at the background of the victim herself, especially as she worked at the mayor’s office. The trail eventually takes them over the border to Mexicali, where they discover the victim led a very complex life and may not have been what she seemed.
In the meantime, Sam has his own demons to face.
