Adam Hamdy

Adam Hamdy is a British thriller writer and screenwriter who joined James Patterson's Private series as a co-author, contributing to the long-running franchise about the Private International investigation agency founded by Jack Morgan. Before his Patterson collaborations, Hamdy had established his own career with the Pendulum trilogy, fast-paced conspiracy thrillers noted for their technological sophistication and cinematic plotting, which drew comparisons to writers like Lee Child. Hamdy's background includes work in strategy consulting and screenwriting, experience that shows in the visual, scene-by-scene momentum of his prose. His contribution to the Private franchise extended a series that had already been co-written by numerous authors across different international settings, and his entries continued the series' formula of globe-spanning corporate and criminal intrigue investigated by Private's network of operatives. Hamdy has continued to write across both his own original thrillers and collaborative commercial fiction, and has also been involved in adapting thriller properties for screen, reflecting a career built at the intersection of prose fiction and visual storytelling.
