He worked as a solicitor and served his country with great distinction during World War II, he was awarded the Military Cross. His main series characters are Colonel Brain, Ambrose Low and Roger Thursby. For some inexplicable reason, though he enjoyed popularity amongst readers he seems not to received the attention he deserves from collectors subsequently. His work is superbly plotted with a fabulous comic wit which is always kept in balance . He also avoids the pitfall of being overly in-depth in terms of the law, something many writers whose career overlaps their books fail to do. Many of the books were never released in America, those that were are included above and any alternative titles have been noted. As can be seen when issued on both sides of the Atlantic then the UK edition precedes. In short, a highly recommended author and those you have yet to experience him could do worse than give him a try
