Howard HarriesHoward Harries is a native Londoner, born in 1949 and graduating in History from Oxford University in 1970. He spent most of his career working for foreign banks, including four years in Kuwait - an interesting stint, which came to an abrupt end whenIraq invaded the emirate in 1990.After writing numberless words (tautology?) during his lifetime, mainly for work purposes but sometime filing arts reviews for the local newspaper and producing a community group magazine, he has now turned his hand to the novel.He admits that, after many years writing business plans, operating procedures and reports, it has come as a relief to write something more realistic.Of the great mystery writers, he particularly admires Eric Ambler - and aspires (with due humility) to emulate a fraction of his brilliance.He hopes that his readers will enjoy this book.
