Adam Oyebanji was born in Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire. He recently took the big step of moving east to Edinburgh by way of Birmingham, London, Lagos, Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York: a necessary detour, because traffic on the M8 is really, really bad. A graduate of Birmingham University and Harvard Law School, Adam works in the field of counter-terrorist financing, helping banks choke off the money supply that builds weapons of mass destruction, narcotics empires, and human trafficking networks.
Adam’s debut, BRAKING DAY, was published in early 2022. His latest speculative mystery, ESPERANCE, was published in 2025.
