Robin Bruce Lockhart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Bruce Lockhart (born 1920) was a British author.

The son of the British spy R. H. Bruce Lockhart, he wrote the 1967 book Ace of Spies about the super-spy Sidney Reilly, which was made into a 1983 television miniseries Reilly: Ace of Spies, starring Sam Neill as the title character and Ian Charleson as his father. The book was republished in 1984 as Reilly: Ace of Spies.

Bruce Lockhart converted to Roman Catholicism, and his book about the Carthusians, Half-way to Heaven (1985), developed from his own experiences as a lay guest at St Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster.[1]
