Timothy Willocks is a British doctor and novelist, an experienced psychiatrist. He is noted for the portrayal of himself, or elements of himself, within his novels which usually feature a central character with extensive medical knowledge of drugs and martial arts. This reflects the knowledge Willocks has gained in the practice of martial arts as he has achieved a black belt in Shotokan karate.
Willocks' 1991 novel 'Bad City Blues' was adapted for the screen in 1999 in a movie starring Dennis Hopper. Willocks also wrote the Steven Spielberg documentary 'The Unfinished Journey'.
In 1994, Tim Willocks burst onto the scene with an unforgettable novel called "Green River Rising". Hailed as 'the best thriller since "The Silence of the Lambs" (Daily Telegraph), it was particularly praised for the quality of Tim Willocks' prose and for his extraordinarily dark imagination.
"Once there was a lawman who understood the way of things human. He did his share of torture and of other evils; and he put into his pocket the coin of those who believed themselves his masters. This lawman also became a collector of testimony and evidence beyond refute of every kind. He stole entire the secret crimes of a whole state, and he stored that corpus away and waited for the day of revelation.
When the lawman vanishes, panic hits the street and savage dogs are unleashed to find his secret trove; the mob, the cops, and a Medean woman who seeks above all the daughter her husband had torn from her arms. Yet the lawman, even from beyond the grave, is a player of games. He bequeaths his treasure to the last man in the world who wants it: former adversary, psychiatrist and melancholiac Dr Cicero Grimes. And when his estranged father - who sees in the lawman's legacy his own last chance for glory - disappears with the missing girl, Grimes must join in a reckless pursuit across three states towards the final confrontation of bloodstained kings........
A son in search of a lost father, a woman in search of a stolen child; desperate men in search of apocalyptic power: Bloodstained Kings is a tale of anguish transcended."
Bloodstained Kings - a spectacular novel of obsession, hatred, betrayal and revenge from the bestselling author of Green River Rising .
