About The Author
Robert Barnard
Robert Barnard (1936-2013) was born in Essex, lived in Leeds, and was educated at Balliol. He had a distinguished career as an academic before becoming a full-time writer. His first crime novel, Death of an Old Goat, was written while he was professor of English at the University of Tromsø in Norway.
He was a writer of great versatility, transitioning from the light and satirical tone of his earlier books to the more psychological preoccupations of recent ones, such as A Fatal Attachment.
Under the name of Bernard Bastable, he also wrote novels featuring Mozart as a detective. He created several detectives, including Perry Trethowan and Charlie Peace. Robert Barnard stated that he wrote solely to entertain. He regarded Agatha Christie as his ideal crime writer and published an appreciation of her work, A Talent to Deceive, alongside books on Dickens, a history of English literature, and nearly thirty mysteries.
Robert Barnard was the winner of the 2003 CWA Cartier Diamond Dagger Award for a lifetime of achievement.
