my books

I use the pen-name Freddie Omm for my books.

I’m currently finalising a book project aimed at helping refugees:–Migrant Voices, which explores migrancy from classical through to modern times, will be published later this year, and all profits will go to refugee charities.

My first thriller, Honour, was published in March 2012 and swiftly rose up the Amazon best-seller lists.

Praise for Honour:

“Freddie Omm is that rare beast: a thriller writer with a full arsenal of literary skills… Stylish, sharp and masterful, Honour is a thrill to read… a pleasure on every page.” James Wood

“Ambitious, gripping, compelling, horrifying…” Gillian Carey

“A beautiful, daring, exciting book, a true joy. Honour will be enjoyed by everyone with an interest in the modern world, a love of writing and humanity. Freddie Omm has created a fiery work of wisdom and wit.” Mohammed Qayyum

From the blurb:

When his brothers in faith kick off a campaign of murderous havoc and honour killing, their pacifist ex-comrade Azeem has to figure out who’s behind it, re-evaluate his ideals, and save his lover from a lovelorn sheikh, without getting himself killed. A fast-paced, darkly humorous thriller, Honour is a controversial meditation on modern evil.

“Intelligent, shocking, darkly funny, Honour is an edgy, modern thriller about love and terror – men who kill for honour, and the girls who “drive them to it.” Full of suspense, compassionate, satirical and sharp, this page-turner will appeal to lovers of intelligent thrillers and the films of Tarantino and the Coen brothers…”
