William McKee spent 27 years on the front lines of history as a prison governor in the Northern Ireland Prison Service, serving through some of the darkest years of The Troubles. Completing four tours of duty in the infamous Maze Prison—also known as Long Kesh—he bore witness to the intense conflict, political tensions, and defining moments that shaped a nation.

In 2009, his autobiography, Governor Inside the Maze, was published by Gill and MacMillan, offering a rare and candid look behind prison walls. The book also delivered the government’s account of the 1997 murder of Billy Wright, the notorious loyalist leader assassinated inside the Maze.

Now, William turns to fiction to challenge the boundaries of truth. His latest thriller, Collusion, reimagines that fateful day, weaving together conspiracy, political intrigue, and the unsettling possibility of hidden agendas. Blurring the line between fact and fiction, Collusion dares readers to reconsider the official version of events and explore the murky depths of power and deception.

With firsthand experience of history’s turning points, William McKee crafts gripping narratives that uncover the complexities of conflict, control, and the search for truth in a divided world.
