About The Author

Andrew Rule

Andrew Rule is an award-winning reporter who can find the story behind the story and then write it using the techniques of a novelist. He is known for writing on crime and its detection but has also covered big sporting events from the London Olympics to the Melbourne Cup, war zones in Afghanistan and international disasters such as the Christchurch earthquake, Japan’s tsunami and the Bali bombing. He has worked for three major daily newspapers and a national magazine, has written many books and is currently an Associate Editor of the Herald Sun in Melbourne.

He grew up with horses, has hung around stables and has had a lifelong weakness for racing. He claims to be the only Australian Journalist of the Year to have ridden in a horse race.
