About the Author:
Geoffrey Household (1900-1988)Geoffrey Household was a prolific novelist of political thrillers and suspense stories, most notably the classic Rogue Male, which, The Times recently declared, 'remains as exciting and probing as ever'. He was as widely travelled as the settings of his books suggest: after graduating from Magdalen College, Oxford, with a first in English literature he worked abroad for 25 years, and served in British Intelligence during World War II in Greece and the Middle East. He married twice and eventually settled in the English countryside with his wife and three children.
Review:
Household...helped to develop the suspense story into an art form * NEW YORK TIMES * The reissue of his backlist, of which Watcher in the Shadows is the latest to appear, is a welcome acknowledgement of Household as a master of his craft -- Barry Turner * DAILY MAIL *
