John Rickards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Rickards (born January 7, 1978 in Barnet, North London, England) is a crime writer who signed with Penguin Books at the age of just 24. Before becoming a novelist, Rickards worked for a freelance journalist in the shipping industry on a succession of magazines and news publications, often in an editorial role. He graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in Environmental Engineering, although he has never worked in the field.
He lives in Eastbourne on the UK's south coast with his partner, and his baby boy.
His first three novels have all featured ex-FBI agent Alex Rourke, but he has stated several times on his website that he intends to work on stand-alone books.
