Persons
Former RAF pilot and investigative journalist Frederick Forsyth defined the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of the Jackal, described by Lee Child as 'the book that broke the mould', with its lightning-paced storytelling, effortlessly cool reality and unique insider information. After that, he wrote thirteen novels which became bestsellers around the world: The Odessa File, The Dogs of War, The Devil's Alternative, The Fourth Protocol, The Negotiator, The Deceiver, The Fist of God, Icon, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra, The Kill List and The Fox. He also published his memoirs in The Outsider. Frederick Forsyth died in June 2025. Tony Kent is a criminal barrister, founder director of Chiltern Kills festival and bestselling author of the Dempsey / Devlin series. Tony has published five books in the series, including a Zoe Ball Book Club pick for ITV and a Richard and Judy Book Club pick. Tony's novels call upon his experiences as one of the UK's most in-demand criminal defence lawyers & his particular expertise in terrorism and international organised crime, which has brought him into frequent professional contact with Scotland Yard, MI5, Interpol, US Homeland Security and the FBI.
