Martyn Waites je anglický autor, ktorý sa špecializuje na drsnú detektívnu fikciu. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje temnou atmosférou, realistickým zobrazením mestského života a komplexnými postavami, ktoré sa potýkajú s morálnymi dilemami. Waites majstrovsky spriada napínavé zápletky s hlbším skúmaním ľudskej povahy a spoločenských problémov, čím vytvára diela, ktoré sú pútavé aj podnetné na zamyslenie.
