It's always a thrill for me to discover the work of authors I haven't read before. Especially crime writers. So, you can imagine how excited I was to find Tim Ayliffe's books.

Tim is a Sydney-based author and journalist who works as the Managing Editor of Television and Video for ABC News. A few years ago, he decided to try his hand at novel writing and has now penned three novels featuring former foreign correspondent, John Bailey.

In early August, his brand new novel "The Enemy Within" was released by Simon & Schuster. A gripping action-packed novel that highlighted a growing underbelly of global discontent. So topical and utterly compelling.

I was super excited to welcome Tim to the podcast earlier this year.
