Author Bio

After an MA in English, Simon Beckett spent several years as a property repairer before teaching in Spain. Back in the UK, he played percussion in several bands and worked as a freelance journalist, writing for national British newspapers and magazines. Some of his more memorable assignments included going on police drugs raids, touring brothels with a vice unit and trying to learn how to win a gun fight in Nevada.

It was a visit to the Body Farm in Tennessee in 2002 that was the inspiration behind the internationally bestselling David Hunter crime thrillers. The series has been translated into 29 languages, and Simon’s novels have now sold over 10 million copies worldwide. In 2009 he was the UK’s top selling author in Europe. His books have been phenomenally successful in Germany, where the first four David Hunter novels all reached No.1 in either the hardback or paperback charts. In 2015, The Chemistry of Death was ranked 11th in Spiegel’s Top 40 Bestselling Books of the decade.

As well as the David Hunter series, he is the author of five standalone thrillers; Fine Lines, Animals, Where There’s Smoke, Owning Jacob and Stone Bruises.

Simon is married and lives in Yorkshire, England.
