Schweitzer Klassifikation
'For style without affection, ruthlessness without the usual mindlessness, Lyall is likely to be your man' - The Guardian. When Gavin Lyall's first book, THE WRONG SIDE OF THE SKY, was published in 1961, P.G. Woodhouse wrote: 'Terrific! When better novels of suspense than this are written, lead me to them.'

Gavin Lyall lives in London and is married to Katharine Whitehorn
