Conor has been a producer/reporter/presenter in factual television for many years (Scam City, Around the World in 80 Trades, Watchdog) and has written several books. His novels SURVIVE TO FIGHT and CALL TO KILL, written with co-author Billy Billingham, star of C4's SAS : Who Dares Wins, feature the character Matt Mason. Prior to that, Conor wrote The Adventure Capitalist (Pan Macmillan), which tells the story of how he left his job in the City, sold his London flat and embarked on a round-the-world trading adventure. Travelling through four continents over five months, he turned his hand to making a profit out of everything from camels in Sudan to inflatable surfboards in Mexico, to discover how real people make real money in real markets. Conor's second book Unfair Trade deals with how ordinary people around the world survive at the bottom of the supply chain. By living alongside miners, farmers, factory workers and fishermen from Africa to Asia to Central America, Conor tells the stories of the real people on whom the global economy depends. Unfair Trade was long listed for the Orwell Prize. His third book, The Scam Hunter takes us on a journey through the lawless backstreets of cities such as Mumbai, Bogota, New Orleans, Mexico City and Jerusalem as he uncovers the people and the crimes that keep the global black economy moving. When not writing, Conor continues to make films and TV. True Appaloosa, his first feature length documentary film, premiered at the Sun Valley Film Festival in 2015 and aired on BBC4 as 'The Secret Horse’ to wide critical acclaim.
