Thrillers exploring life's dark side
About Me
Robin Newbold writes thrillers that explore the world’s underbelly, from the brutal chaos of Bangkok to London's seedy allure. He is a Brighton-based journalist but spent several years living in the Far East, most notably as a foreign correspondent in Thailand for The South China Morning Post and was also an editor at Singapore's New Paper. His travel writing has appeared in the likes of Time Out and Bangkok Metro magazine.
Critical Acclaim
“Vacuum-Packed describes the emptiness of pop culture and the wreckage of lost young lives with a world weary cynicism that can sting with its bite.”
Daniel Gawthrop,
The Nation
Coming soon...
The Beach rebooted for Gen Z! Newbold's latest thriller, When the Darkness Swallowed the Sun, will be released later this year by indie publisher Spectrum Books. It sees a return to Thailand where junior journalist Dan Young is assigned to report on the brutal double murder of two English backpackers on an idyllic island. But Dan's descent into the shadows to find the truth sees paradise turn into his worst nightmare.
