VJ Books Presents Stephen Leather!
Stephen Leather is one of the UK's most successful international thriller writers and has also written for television. He has lived in Hong Kong, London, the U.S., Dublin, and Thailand.
Leather was born in 1956 in Manchester, England. He obtained his BSc in Biochemistry from Bath University in 1978. After graduating, he was offered a place on the Daily Mirror Graduate Training Scheme where he was trained as a journalist.
Leather's novels frequently include themes of crime, imprisonment, military service, and terrorism. Settings are typically London and the Far East. Leather writes different series in slightly different genres. The main character of one series, Dan 'Spider' Shepherd, is a former Special Air Service soldier who becomes an undercover policeman. Another series, "Jack Nightingale", is about a former police negotiator who becomes a private investigator; this supernatural detective series is also published by Hodder & Stoughton.
