Autorenporträt
Steve Parker was born and raised in south east London. At age twenty-one, he joined the Metropolitan Police where he served for twenty years in numerous high profile squads before injury forced him out. On leaving the police he took up an enforcement job with a local authority until being made redundant. Once the dust had settled, he decided he'd had enough of enforcement work and decided that early retirement looked good. Thankfully, he was blessed with a complete lack of DIY skills so was legitimately able to get away with swanning around the house doing bugger all, all day long. Finding himself with plenty of spare time and a deep desire to never work for anyone again, he dug out an old screenplay he'd written when he was still a policeman and set himself a challenge to turn it into the book which eventually became his debut novel Their Last Words introducing Detectives Paterson & Clocks. He currently lives in the windier part of East Sussex with his wife and the laziest Cockapoo you've ever seen.
