Snooker world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan will be at WHSmith in Bluewater next month.

The snooker player will be signing copies of his newest Soho Nights thriller, The Break on Tuesday, December 18, from noon.

The book explodes into the gangland world of 90s Soho.

It’s 1997 and Cool Britannia’s in full swing.

Oasis and Blur are top of the pops and it feels like the whole country’s sorted out for E’s and wizz.

But it’s not just UK that’s on a high, life’s looking up for Frankie James too.

He’s paid off his debts to London’s fiercest gang lord, Tommy Riley.

His Soho open snooker tournament is about to kick off at his club.

The future looks bright, but then Frankie finds himself being blackmailed by a face from his past.

They want him to steal something worth millions and it is enough to get him killed or banged up for life.

Frankie’s going to need every ounce of luck and guile that he’s got if he’s going to pull off the heist of the century and get out of this in one piece.

The Break is the third, fast-paced Soho Nights thriller, written by O’Sullivan.

Since turning professional in 1992, he has clocked up number of awards and trophies, including the UK Championship, the China Open, the Regal Championships, the Benson and Hedges Masters and the British Open.

In January 2000 O'Sullivan won the Nations Cup for England, boasting the best record of any player, thirteen wins from fifteen frames played.

In 2016 he turned his hand to fiction, publishing his debut novel Framed.
