Robin Cook (British novelist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert William Arthur "Robin" Cook (12 June 1931 - 30 July 1994) was a British novelist who also wrote brutal crime fiction under the pseudonym Derek Raymond.

Born in London, Cook was the eldest son of an English textile magnate and went into Eton College. Instead of continuing his career in Oxford University, he roamed in the Soho underworld and wrote social realist novels in English and French as 'Robin Cook' and the "Factory" series of brutal crime novels as 'Derek Raymond'.

He was married five times and had a son, Sebastian, and a daughter, Zoe.
