James Dunbar

James Dunbar is a journalist, travel writer, and university lecturer. His latest psychological thriller, Twisted River, is a disturbing account of revenge, examining the ease at which someone can hack into a life and turn it upside down. Mole Creek, his first venture into the serious crime and espionage genre, was shortlisted in the 2024 Danger Awards. Also published as Jimmy Thomson, he is the author of two crime ‘caper’ novels and two true-crime memoirs, as well as several books about Australian army engineers (sappers) during the Vietnam War. Blood Moon, the hotly anticipated sequel to Mole Creek, will be out in November 2026.
