JOHN BAILEY: THE ENEMY WITHIN will be on TV via the ABC in 2027! I couldn’t imagine a better guy to play Bailey than David Lyons and the global cast is incredible - David Harewood, Yael Stone, Anthony LaPaglia … with many more amazing actors to be announced soon… 📕 📺
Excited to be introducing the Bailey books to UK readers. With cameras about to start rolling on the TV series, timing couldn’t be better!
.@FirefinchBooks has acquired five novels in Tim Ayliffe’s John Bailey thriller series. Firefinch will publish the first title, The Greater Good, in May 2027. 👇 ebx.sh/mDVbKO
The Dark Desert Road reviews keep coming … thanks @murdermayheman1
“This is a very strong and exciting crime novel, I predict that it is going to be one of the year’s best.”
This week in the Canberra Weekly I reviewed 3 good books to get your 2026 criminal reading off to a fun start. From Aussie crime to Kiwi noir and satirical Brit crime - they are all good reads. @canberra_daily @TimJAyliffe @GeoffParkes9 @HarperCollinsAU murdermayhemandlongdogs.com/…
The Dark Desert Road book tour starts soon - can't wait to hit the road and talk to readers and writers about my first standalone crime novel. Event details and bookings at timayliffe.com ...

Grateful for this fantastic review on the eve of the official release date of Dark Desert Road
Australian crime fiction gets off to a strong start in 2026 with @TimJAyliffe 's Dark Desert Road. A fast paced outback thriller that entertains while also raising legitimate concerns about the widening fractures in Australian society. A must read! murdermayhemandlongdogs.com/…
Christmas shopping alert! the warehouse delivered early with DARK DESERT ROAD hitting some bookshops ahead of the January release date! Signed a stack at Woollahra Bookshop, for those in Sydney’s East… but check your local bookshop! And Merry Christmas!

Is that the greatest #Ashes Test Century for an Australian ever? It just might be. Travis head facing an incredible English bowling attack - I think we’ve just seen something special @CricketAus @englandcricket

My first standalone novel is officially off to the printers! I loved spending time with the McCarthy sisters - estranged twins who are forced to choose between family, justice and the extremism that has divided them. Pre-orders echopublishing.com.au/books/…
Tough conditions and a good contest between #AUSvNZ in #Bledisloe tonight. All Blacks deserved 28-14 winners. #wallabies in 2025 a matter of two steps forward, one step back. Discipline a major issue. Looking forward to seeing an improvement on the Spring Tour.
