His new novel, White Riot, the start of a trilogy set in Hackney in the 1970s and 1980s, is to be published by Arcadia in January 2023, and will be followed by Red Menace and True Blue. Joe lives in London with his partner and son, and teaches at City, University of London.
'A tough, uncompromising style' Jon Wise 'Paradise City is a gripping read. This fast-paced and darkly atmospheric novel introduces Joe Thomas as a new and distinct voice in crime fiction of the city.' Susanna Jones, author of The Earthquake Bird '[A]s vibrant, colourful and complex as South America's largest city' Myles McWeeney, Irish Independent 'Fresh, gripping, and incredibly assured' Stav Sherez, author of The Intrusions 'Great crime fiction hinges on a sense of place, and Thomas proves an adroit guide to a city that has developed at dizzying speed' GQ 'Joe Thomas's work has been compared to James Ellroy, as it is abrupt, elliptical, and heavily loaded with slang in both English and Portuguese. That comparison is true' Shotsmag 'With its feverish energy, opulent nightlife, culture and chaos, the Brazilian megalopolis is a perfect setting for Joe Thomas's crime thrillers' Jane Dunford, Guardian Praise for THE S�O PAULO QUARTET 'Thomas's fine series offers a wonderfully vivid introduction to a society in violent, vibrant flux.' John Williams, Mail on Sunday
