David said: "After introducing readers to Marie Cadieux and them falling in love with the reluctant spy in Marie Cadieux and the Fever Coast, I couldn’t wait to write in her world again.

The 43-year-old said: "Over the last few years I’ve photographed some incredible productions which have inspired me.

"But it literally takes thousands if not millions of pounds and a whole army of people to tell these stories.

"I've always been a daydreamer and the thing I love about writing novels is that all you need is your imagination and a pen and paper.”

"The Belle Époque is in full swing yet there are still great frontiers being explored across the globe.

"There’s no better test for a burgeoning spy such as Marie than having her navigate from the slums of New York to Parisian high society and the jungles of Panama and beyond.

"Some of the productions I’ve worked on are based on established novels such as Rachel Joyce’s The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry or AA Dhand’s Virdee.

"A lot of my readers say how visual my stories are and how they’d love to see them adapted into a movie.

My dream would definitely be to shoot stills on an adaption of one of my books!”
