Thomas Silk has been writing erotic bondage-related mysteries and spy novels for over a decade. These stories, usually set in the 1950s and 1960s, happen at a time when there were no DNA or other modern police tools to catch criminals. This time period allows villains to be true villains like those in the old-time movie serials and TV crime and spy shows in the 1950's and 1960s. The heroines of the Thomas Silk stories are strong, resilient women, who despite being considered inferior by their male counterparts, manage to overcome deadly situations.
